This is actually quite spooky as we’ve been having very similar conversations over @ninefour. We always try to “Keep It Simple Stupid”.

I think its far too easy to throw pollyfils, CSS and javascript fixes and frameworks at sites when the majority of the time you’ll neve use it.

We’ve also worked on a few sites recently, where other developers had “chucked everything” at the site and the client was finding it took for ever to load. In some cases we’d managed to get the page load reduced by 90%.
