The World Wide Web in the mid 90s was small enough to be communicative in smaller groups. Concerned with Interop, compat, useful, meaningful, international, collaborative, social and technical growth. For us to have standards as people. Can it get better or are we all just stuck?

I think the web is so vast that "better" may not even apply anymore. The tech will get progressively, measurably better, but as far as the community that we miss, the world of the web has gone from a town to a planet. Some parts of the planet will get better; some will get worse.

A very fairly balanced view, I think. I do agree "better" is no longer truly applicable as a descriptor. I do not see better tech now however, but far worse. It is, as you pointed to the real deal I'm seeking: It's community bonds I so very much miss in these years passed. TY!

Well yeah, that's also a point鈥攖he more powerful something is, the more dangerous it is. As a designer, I like how powerful CSS/JS have gotten鈥攖hey're more capable, ie "better"鈥攂ut their potential for abuse (especially JS) is worse than ever, so "better" is certainly arguable.
