I've always been very much in favour of UX and a11y over DX but, if you don't provide good DX, developers can produce some truly horrible UX and a11y. Can't win.

@chris22smith This has me thinking about how a big hurdle to good A11Y is often how convoluted it is to do things that seem like they should be simple. It often leads to folks who genuinely care and think they're doing the right thing doing something that's actually harmful to accessibility.

@cferdinandi @ben I'm finding that it's easier to use component libraries/frameworks with decent a11y so we screw it up less. But then we're back to sending a MB of JavaScript down the pipe before the user even sees anything. It's tough.

@siem @chris22smith DX = Developer Experience (vs. UX = User Experience)
