Are you sure there's no grain of truth in the complaints about today's dynamic Web?

Of course there are. But no-one has really articulated an alternative vision. That post certainly doesn't.

That post's alternative vision is something that already existed not so long ago, you can learn about it in as much detail as you want...

So we throw away all scripting? No more Google Maps? Doesn't sound very realistic to me.

IMO, browser plugins were the way forward. You can have all the fancy stuff that modern computers can do, like Google Maps or even Quake Live, and at the same time most of the web can stay simple.
