rocknbil, I agree - inaccessibility caused by client-side shenanigans is a plague currently infecting the entire web. I know the language and the tools aren't to blame, but ... if you build handguns, and you let everyone have a handgun for free, people are going to get hurt. You can not blame the gun manufacturer, but it's not hard to see that there's a clear cause and effect predicated by the existance of the weapons.

Woah. That's a heavy metaphor you can chew on for a while, eh.

Now that I've been using these frameworks for a few years, I can't imagine developing a JS-empowered app without them. I found myself in a situation that needed "element.getElementById()" a few days ago, and felt eerie, like typing <font> or <img src="spacer.gif">.
