web3[0] the library (to filter out the philosophical BS) is just a way to talk to an Ethereum node.

It is technically interesting, but most definitively over-hyped for a straightforward JSON-RPC client.

Personal Note: Tech aside, I don't like this vision of the web where everything is a transaction with a cost attached to it.

I like the way you put it. And the cost will only increase as more and more users join. Unlike economies of scale, this works in reverse.
