If his underlying point is just "simple is best," then I think we all agree. But he goes on with a tone of distaste about the state of the web, as though everyone is just stuffing their sites with flashy gimmicks these days. Sorry, this isn't 1999.

Also, sites like Facebook, Google, etc. have done some pretty amazing stuff with this web platform, going well beyond what it was originally intended and "text and images." Has he ever looked at Google Docs?

I did, and still prefer to use a Desktop Office Suite. For the far better responsiveness, tons more features (I do use), and lack of dependence of Google.
