From my perspective, people are very impatient about modules. It took us two years to get from theoretical authoring format (ES2015) to something you could usefully ship on small sites (now). I think we can make them work for large sites in less than two more years.

People used to say the syntax was DOA and you should just use CommonJS. Now, they don't. I think the community will go through the same process for the runtime format.

In the meantime, watch for continual improvements. We've already seen import(). modulepreload is coming soon. Cache digests and/or delta compression are in progress. Plus, of course, *tons* of unobservable optimizations. In Chromium, we have a "10k loading challenge" and a plan.

It's fine to be skeptical. This doesn't help you build your site now. But be prepared to change your mind in the face of evidence. Because some of us, who have the luxury of being browser devs instead of web devs, are playing the longer game. And I think you'll enjoy the results.

Eh, I think us framework folks play a long game too. I basically agree with this sentiment in full, given enough time.
Loading seems to be taking a while.
