For all of the complaints about the W3C and browser vendors and HTML5, there is something indisputable: this is the best time ever to be a web developer. Things are hardly perfect, but for the first time in many years the web is moving forward, and quickly. Browser vendors are adding exciting features, but even more exciting is that javascript frameworks have come forward to mask all the little problems and incompatibilities between browsers, leaving me to just develop. I'm using HTML5 and CSS3 today, and it doesn't matter that the vendors can't agree on everything or that Microsoft refuses to implement features. We shouldn't stop trying to push forward, but we shouldn't forget how bad things were even just a few years ago. Modern web development is here, and it's awesome.
