- Minification reduces bandwidth usage.
** At the cost of making debugging more difficult.
There is one thing that debug mode makes harder: Seeing how the page looks in an RTL language. That's because CSSJanus doesn't work in debug mode, and there were several objections in the past to changing that. That is the only thing that I'd love to see re-evaluated.
As everybody else already said, less bandwidth is a good thing for most people, obfuscation is OK when the source is available elsewhere, and debug=true is not hard for developers to find.
