This has nothing to do with HTML or CSS vs any other language of the web. It should be "Prioritize frontend usability and design." For that you need good UX/UI people, who may or may not know HTML or CSS. It doesn't matter. Any competent frontend dev can copy a good Figma, but not every HTML/CSS/Tailwind/JS dev can make a pretty, usable, accessible website. If you think about your frontend primarily in terms of how "vanilla" to go... then you're writing a website by engineers, for engineers. It might have pretty source, but that doesn't in any way guarantee good usability or design. Regular users never see your source and don't care about it, but they will definitely see your UX work (or lack thereof).

> Any competent frontend dev can copy a good Figma I think that's part of the problem. If UX people don't know code and code people don't know UX, neither has the ability to validate each other's work.

  That's never been a problem in my experience...? As a frontend dev, I routinely work with designers who can't code. They send me a Figma, maybe talk me through the highlights, and I implement an initial prototype that gets maybe 80-90% there. A little back and forth later and we have something that's like 99% there, with minor bugs we fix after release. They didn't need to know any HTML or CSS. Figma puts pretty good guardrails around their design possibilities already.
