I see way too much of web sites today where the content has been drowned in animations, "cool" graphics, banner ads, and layouts that defies 30 years of research of user interface design. It is also obvious that to most so-called web designers, the 'one browser to rule them all' is MSIE.

I dislike that kind of arrogance. If there's any substance to the site, it would be possible to enjoy even using the non-graphical browsers like lynx, links, and w3.

With the above in mind, I don't use flash, or javascript. I prefer the 'server-side everything', presenting simple HTML pages to the client. They load faster, too.
