If you've ever used a real UI framework, HTML/CSS is absolutely a nightmare. It is missing almost entirely in any kind of useful controls, which is why there are so many myriads of control libraries.
Edit: however, replacing HTML+CSS with a canvas is absolutely a step in the wrong direction. I'm advocating for a richer Web, not a stream of pixels controlled by Google.
- gentleman11 5y agoCare to elaborate what “real ui frameworks” do better? What frameworks do you have in mind when you say that?
- simiones 5y agoSure! I'm thinking of things like QT, WPF, WinForms, Java Swing. What these have in common that is missing from HTML/CSS/DOM is a significant library of controls and layouts.
