I took the time to read your article. My thoughts: Programmers constantly trash and badmouth everything: languages, tools, platforms, frameworks. Name anything and there's a vocal group of people who hate it. Grow a thicker skin if you want to be taken seriously as a developer. Don't attach your ego or sense of worth or professionalism to a technology or tool -- those are transient things. If you take jokes or complaints (or ignorance) about CSS personally, as you seem to in your article, you're going to get defensive and feel attacked when they come up. Go to any seminar and you'll see the same jokes about HTML, Javascript, PHP, etc. Think of them as in-jokes and bonding, not as personal assaults on your choice of expertise. I think everyone who works in web development knows that CSS is capable of amazing things. I think most of us know that you can't expect CSS to wrap and fit an arbitrary text string into a fixed-sized container. We all know HTML and browsers have limitations and shortcomings that aren't always clear to print designers and clients looking at Photoshop wireframes. It's part of the job, not something to get wound up over.
