I think HTML is considered too challenging or 'low level' in modern front end development. Components are created with material UI, or bootstrap. No one seems to be doing it by hand.
I like coding html (and css) by hand. I find it easier to do that than to deal with frameworks and tooling. So I read articles like this and often find something new (TIL about fieldset). But I've yet to see anyone else do this professionally.
So I don't think most people will ever care about this stuff, in the face of modern "best practices". It's just going to be nested div soup, from here on out.
- notjustanymike 5y agoI just went through an ADA compliance audit and we got dinged pretty hard for semantic markup inconsistency. It's certainly become more common in production apps, much like making things SEO optimized before. Keep doing real HTML, it's still important!
- eating555 5y agoI write html by hand as well but I still prefer to use div as general block tag. It's just because I want it be difficult for bots to crawl XD
- brundolf 5y agoBootstrap is just CSS, though? You still have to write your HTML (or JSX) by hand I haven't seen much to back up your view of things
- LAC-Tech 5y agoMisspoke slightly. I'm thinking back to my experience of a bootstrap in react package. The HTML it produced was meaningless.
