I started avoiding web programming after 2.0 became a thing, because it turned into an unmanageable time sink and usability nightmare, and it still is.
And I remember when 1.0 sites erased most of the form on an apparent mistake on my part and took ages to load aspx. There are facets in each version of web that we tend to see or ignore, but it’s clear that the common facet is poor and/or overcomplicated programming, not a paradigm itself.
