Progressive enhancement would be better. Then luddites like me could just turn off the bullshit.

We tried PE on the web. It's a great idea and the browsers and languages support it eminently. But most developers (including product people, and engineers like myself) are obsessed with the glamorous option rather than the plain-but-plainly-better lower bandwidth version.

I'm such a luddite. I will never have a smart thermostat, fridge, voice assitant in my home (until it's compulsory).

I feel like progressive enhancement is my choice to make. What do I purchase, what can it do, etc.

Whereas graceful degredation more is the product designers's choice. What does it do when it doesn't get Internet or electricity.
