> What does suck, indeed, is when people try to use tools that were meant to make HTML docs look nice to build an office suite. The same thing is now happening to a certain extent in the native mobile development. UI Frameworks have been steadily inadequate towards the modern UI idioms and trends, so people are doing crazy things customizing the standard components to have their app looking like FB's app, for example. It's the UI frameworks that are seriously lacking, not so much the tools and the languages.
