No real issues i think, but take this HN input box i'm typing in now. It's .. okay, like.. it's about as barebones as you can get. CSS has seen a ton of advancements in just about every area (it feels like atleast. As a backend dev), but yet this HN box still feels them same as it did in 1995 heh. I see so many huge JS beasts with WYSIWYG features that i'm unsure what advancements, if any, have been made for CSS to provide something nice. Something that a user would feel it's more than nothing done at all. The HN box feels like nothing at all. Just a plain HTML input text area.
