The tone of the article was surprising. The alternative boilerplate is far too simple to cut it as a boilerplate for people building even the most modestly sized sites. It certainly doesn't cater to the majority of professionals in the way that the HTML5 Boilerplate project tries to. A previous article, Easy HTML5 Template http://www.impressivewebs.com/easy-html5-template/ http://www.impressivewebs.com/easy-html5-template/, also proposed an alternative boilerplate. But it clearly distinguished between what the HTML5 Boilerplate project is aiming to do, and why/when a simple boilerplate has its place.
