Can you guys please stop whining about the name and talk about the features? Didn't your elementary school teacher tell you not to judge a book by its cover? They could always change the name if they had to. They never actually say they're semantic HTML, it could have other meanings. Or, you know, it could just be a name. There's plenty of projects with meaningless names.
- JackFr 13y agoDon't be an idiot. Semantic UI has a meaning. The authors chose to ignore its meaning while trading on the cachet of the name. While their web dev skills may be unsurpassed, it's a reasonable criteria on which to judge them.
- Miyamoto 13y agoAd hominem attack, really? A single post or two on the name I could understand, but every comment? HN fixates on the absurd.
- adeaver 13y agoBecause semantic actually means something, it's not a subjective term. Calling something Semantic UI and comparing it to another library, that more follows the actually meaning of semantic, is silly. Yes you can change the class name but setting up the name as something meaningful, something semantic, such as 'submitButton' lets you redefine it in the CSS. If I'm building something that multiple clients will use I don't want each client having buttons with class names specific to the client, but something I can modify easily in the CSS to get the look and feel they want. It's ass backwards.
- qu4z-2 13y agoHim calling you an idiot isn't an ad hominem. It's only an ad hominem if he's arguing "You're an idiot, and therefore you are wrong ". "You're being an idiot, and here's why: <reasons>" is just impoliteness.
