- Non-semantic HTML Then why are you using a framework that provides these kind of classes ? dont like the classes , dont use it , or use a semantic CSS framework. You cant complain that tools developed by others that you use for free sucks. - JavaScript library management Same stuff, I'm not sure why people complain about all these freebies today. When I started webdev , all these tools were not given , today there are thousands of them,if they suck roll your own tool,by the way i'm pretty sure you could fix bower yourself. - Media Queries Not sure what you are complaining about. The way other people use media-queries? why do you care? If you really want to complain about something , complain about the fact that most browser vendors still dont provide headless browsers for instance, or are slow to implement standards that have existed for 10 years, or release browsers will very bad debugging tools, or mark some nasty bugs as "wont fix"... The people that actually make money when a user browse the internet ... complaining about people that try to fix things without having a huge team behind them is a bit selfish.

The way we can get better as an industry and professionals is by improving and iterating, and reflecting on the current state of the industry and seeing where we want to go next is part of that. I'd rather improve the tools that already exist rather than re-invent my own.

  I believe there is something called forking. Instead of complaining , fix the tools yourself and make a pull request. The current state of the industry is a lot of people are complaining about the freebies they get without contributing back to the open source.

    Sometimes people can't contribute back to the projects (lack of time, lack of wilingness to create a fork + put a 'marketing page' up and convince others...). Constructive criticism (like in this article) is a valid way of trying to convince others that a better way is possible. He is cleary stating the use cases he would like the tools to fix. Shooting down the critic by saying 'so fix it yourself/so fork off/so go code another lib out of the 30 000 that exists' is, on the other end, not constructive. Do you have better arguments?

      Lack of willingness isn't really an argument for "I can't contribute". It's more of a statement of "I don't want to".
