> faster, less data over the wire, etc.

I've always wondered about this. Firstly, I'm fairly sure clientside JSON parsing is significantly faster than protobuf decoding but even data over the wire: JSON can be pretty compressible so surely the gains here are going to be marginal. Surely never enough benefits to UX to warrant the DX trade off, right?
