Ad 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.
