HTTP/2 is an ugly mess of taking something simple and making it more complex for minimal benefit. It could have been so much better than a binary mess.

As engineers, the ones that take simple concepts and add complexity, those are not engineers, those are meddlers.

It could be as long lived as XHTML.

I was hoping for more SCTP rather than a bunch of cludge on top of what is a pretty beautiful protocol in HTTP 1.1. Protocol designers of the past seemed to have a better long view mixed with simplicity focused on interoperability that you like to see from engineers.
