Um. I think author is confusing "programming" with "working with code." His frustrations have more to do with CSS compatibility in browsers than with the actual high-level conceptual thinking that true programming entails. But even taking his argument at face value, his quibbles about syntax would be like me complaining that painting is not a creative art, because that darn paint gets everywhere and it's just so annoying to mix this shade of red and that shade of blue to get the purple I want etc. If you don't enjoy the messy details of the medium, then you surely shouldn't be working in it. For me at least, programming is the very definition of a creative art. I find it not only satisfying to create something out of nothing, but I take pleasure in fleshing out all the little details and overcoming the obstacles that come up along the way.
