WHATWG didn't advance the Web for anyone except for-profit interests.
I cut my teeth on HTML 3.2 so I know what byzantine BS was needed for IE and Netscape. Those were choices made by MS and Netscape, however, so even with a bigger W3C presence, there was no guarantee or even hint that MS and Netscape would fall in line with new standards to begin with.
And it was better then than the garbage we have now where if one big company decides they want it, the rest of the Web gets to deal with it.
That's SO much better, man. /s
