HTML is really easy to write, and really fast if you have the right shorthand plugin. Not to mention, it's markup, so it's not much of a cognitive load to figure out and write. Especially when compared to writing in a programming language/framework like js/jsx/react/<insert language>.
Sure CSS can be a pain in the ass, but honestly it's really not that bad and not worth writing a seething blog post. Like this dude's rant is just overkill at best and annoying at worst.

- wildrhythms 4y agoI always wonder if modern React/Angular/Vue/Svelte developers never learned about the incredible timesaver known as Emmet :) https://emmet.io/ https://emmet.io/
- egeozcan 4y agoPeople don't use emmet anymore? It does work with React and Vue wonderfully well.
- Brian-Puccio 4y agoI am not a modern react/angular/vue developer, but this is still new to me. Thanks!

- aordano 4y agoAnd there's even templating engines like Pug that really simplify the markup, to make it even easier. Not everything needs to ve intantly visualizable, writing the stuff, processing it ana checking once in a while how it's growing is much more than enough, unless you happen to write it very very rarely. Maybe TFA is asking for a solution to that problem, and as other commenters said, there are tools (that didn't really pan out) that take care of that niche.
