I loved Hypercard and BASIC too, but this post strikes me as being a little affected by nostalgia. With Hypercard you could make something for someone who 1) has an Apple, 2) Has Hypercard installed, and 3) Has the right version of Hypercard installed. With HTML/CSS/Javascript you can make something to run almost anywhere. It's not 'easy' but it is useful.
