Your enthusiasm is great and I think will really help motivate a certain audience to get on board the html5 train. I think html5 is absolutely a net positive.
However, when I read it I get the feeling that you don't understand that html5 was the standardization of community-grown ad-hoc patterns. The <div id="footer"> pattern isn't evil, it actually inspired <footer>. It's the original! The standardization of bottom-up practices rather than a spec coming down from the mountain on stone tablets is what makes html5 unique.
Anyway, my point is that from my point of view, this is a bit too good-vs-evil. But, what do I know? ;-)
- aniketpant 15y agoVery true :) I agree to your points. I guess that my post was a little ambiguous and a little biased. I liked the old way of coding, but HTML5 brought order. And for the part where the id's have helped in giving rise to header, footer, nav and article. Yes, I do agree to all of it. Thank you for your comments. Helped my understand my writing.
