It really isn’t. Try make a site with just js and no css and html and let me know how it goes. Then try the opposite.

  Why is Javascript being good dependent on not using CSS?

    Not arguing against JS being “good” I’m arguing against being King. King of what?

      The commenter was obviously not arguing against using HTML? Nobody is arguing that. It's what browsers expect to read to us. It's a vague comment, but then you gave it a metric of "try to make a website without html/css." That's just arbitrary. The original article is arguing against using JS at all. We all understand that both are necessary, it's maximalists like the author that turn it into some war. I could obviously use a lightweight framework to make rendering HTML easier with loops and conditionals, but I'm still using HTML. But JS makes that easy for me and no other language does that. That's why JS is king, it runs everywhere and a little bit of it goes a long way.

  i wouldn't call html and css programming languages

    Agree. And? The comment I replied to didn’t mention programming. I’m a web dev. Take JS away from me and I can still do most of my job. JS can be a great tool. It’s king of nothing.
