Who decides what is “cleaner” and “simpler”?

It’s such a strange take in the coding world. I don’t know why other developers get to decide what is clean, simple, easier to understand, etc, when it comes to my code or the way I write code.

I’ve been using xmlhttprequest for YEARS and honestly, it’s pretty dang simple. It’s pretty darn clean. And when we see it, we know what it’s doing and how it works.

I’m not sure of the motivation behind changes and new API’s like this that keep trying to fix what really isn’t broken for most uses.
