Kind of surprised to see that this was posted by Paul Irish, considering he's such a huge web evangelist.
There are definitely some valid points in the article, but at the end of the day, it's hard for me to accept that The Right Way™ to do web development is to completely abstract away HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
- paulirish 14y agoCertainly I live and breathe the web and do everything I can to advocate for its success. I helped out Randy with this post because I think this perspective is both legit and underheard. Plenty of folks that work tirelessly to improve the web platform share frustration that many developers for the platform don't take it seriously as an application development platform, don't learn from past mistakes, and don't adopt the lessons learned from other platforms. So honestly I think this painful truth needs to be heard if we expect the web to meet its potential.
