Why browsers are bloated

Let's reinvent the fucking scrollbar, which every goddamn platform with a UI already has, and make it behave subtly different from the native one!

Right-click a native scrollbar in some other app:
- Scroll Here
- Top
- Bottom
- Page Up
- Page Down
- Scroll Up
- Scroll Down

Right-click a scrollbar in Chrome:
- Back
- Forward
- Reload
- Save As...
...

Right-click a scrollbar in Firefox and Opera:
Absolutely fucking nothing happens!

What the fuck!? How did these terminally retarded idiots get involved in creating one of the most important pieces of software to the average user?

The big problem I see with TermKit is the lack of a unifying concept for its interfaces. Unix terminal applications aren't powerful despite the shitty unstructured nature of byte streams; they're powerful because byte streams are easily mungeable. Layering HTTP and JSON over that just adds new complexity for applications to deal with (News flash! Not every application is a web app!)

People in the 70s and 80s also tried to make everything fit their preferred structured data paradigm (at the time I believe it was mostly records) and they failed then, too. Serialization formats come and go but the pipe marches on.
