I get one of your points, that some sites should work in the bottom of Africa. But there is a counter-point here, no? Why should a site be developed for the worst of connections out there? Is there a middle point here?

If it works on a crappy dial-up connection it should be nice and fast on a decent connection. Slow loading pages turn visitors away.

Horrible designs and lack of features do too.
