Hmm. Back button works for me in safari and chrome. What browser are you using? I'll disable the keyboard arrow key navigation for now until I figure out what you mean.
This is chromium on ubuntu. It looks like a chromium bug; lots of mentions of navigation issues, though I don't see a specific report on this yet. alt-left and alt-right do browser back and forward in normal circumstances, but in the presence of the navigation code their behavior appears to change. It appears that browser forward and back buttons continue to work properly in the presence of the navigation code.
It serves its purpose. Just like C++, Java, C#, Ruby, Python and Haskell all serve their respective purposes. Fact is, not everyone agrees with your position, nor do they agree with my position.
I would be foolish to attempt to convince you of my point of view. You can write a blog complaining about a language and get commentary from people. I will write code in that language and get money. This is okay with me.
