It comes back to this: What are you doing with your page? If you are building a content delivery vehicle, this all makes sense. If you are building an interactive application, the html paradigm is terrible and we took it as far as we could. We really need to get away from HTML but that's going to require leadership. I recently went back and wrote an application with JavaFX. It's quite a bit easier than dealing with the fiddly bits of HTML, CSS, and JS. Web applications are terrible because we build on terrible abstractions for the purpose of applications, JS being the least worst of them. That's why we end up as an inverted pyramid.
