Angry old man take: people that do HTML are young people that don't mind doing fairly complex technical work for peanuts, because they can get visual satisfaction more quickly. "Design" is something that is after a one or two trick pony. It is intended to disrupt known patterns (often loaded with decades of collected wisdom, sometimes legitimately backward). Since the UI footsoldiers are all underpaid interns being churned on a yearly basis, collected wisdom won't be transferred unless it was provided in education. It's not just HTML. There's a reason the same IT mistakes occur over and over and over. IT ages out all the people that achieve "wisdom". They either move above the point where "progress and wise refinement" would occur into the world of enterprise visio diagram engineering, or out of the industry period. Now get off my lawn.
