It's too bad there are no timestamps on this. The attitudes expressed in thise comments seem to make sense back then and now seems so outdated.

  Are they outdated, or have we merely ignored their wisdom?

    Interesting -- is there one or two insights or wisdom you think is still being ignored?

      HTML is still quite limited compared to native UI toolkits. It's still fundamentally a document model that we're using to write applications. Especially where layout is concerned: HTML and CSS are pretty clearly designed for document layout (and they're not half bad at that!). Flexbox helps, but it's still not there compared to e.g. layout constraints in Cassowary[1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassowary_(software) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassowary_(software)

  Most of them still make plenty of sense to me.
