I think you're blowing his comment way, way out of proportion. It isn't "dismissive", but merely pointing out that as any field advances over time, we see expectations tend to rise. What was once considered innovative or revolutionary can eventually become commonplace, if not trivial and uninteresting. This has been true for mathematics, chemistry, physics, engineering and even cinema. There's no reason why software development should be any different. While people were amazed by radio in the early 1900s, it wasn't really a big deal by the 1950s. It was well understood, and something that average people could use. This doesn't mean that people were "dismissive" of radio at that point, but rather just not surprised or impressed by it any longer. It's the exact same case in this situation. A lot of us here have seen things like this done with CSS before, in some cases many years ago. It just isn't something to get excited about any longer. Having seen it been done before, our expectations have shifted, and we require something more novel in order for it to be considered interesting.
