And there it is, the "run away, run away" response so typical of this industry as a whole.

Prove me wrong, let's see this app your "work" has that lacks all the problems I'm outlining. Convince me with facts -- show the work -- not "wah wah, is not" as you pick up your toys and go home.

Is said web app elastic for non-standard font metric users? How's it hold up on semantics for non-visual users? What's its time to FMP and DCL? What's its CTCR? How badly is it harming server-load and connection time?

Not saying you have all those problems, but it seems likely from your statements and the mere presence of bootcrap.
