The problem about web interfaces is not programmers, it is that: You have absolutely NO CONTROL on the ending display.
That's it. You have not control on aspect ratio, on resolution, on how fast the computer is and even in the link velocity.
So if you are a designer and something WYSIWYG works so well in your retina display screen and fiber optic Internet connection does not mean that works out there on a myriad of different user choices.
WSYIWYG is a terrible solution when you have different alternatives. E.g If you have 6 displays aspect ratios(4/3 16/9 the new surface pro 3/2 and the portrait version of those), 4 main resolutions, 3 main Internet velocities, and 4 computer power(based on how old the computer is), you have:
6x4x3x4 = 288 possibilities.
Now, have fun testing at least 288 different versions of everything you do (there are other possibilities like people with disabilities that in some jobs like gobertment work you have to do), while the Unix Hackers, and children eaters Gatekeepers just do it once.
I for one want to improve the system, but text(code) is one of the best solutions we have so far. The reason there is no something better is because people are able to spend a significant amount of time ranting about others instead of doing something about it(and facing lots of problems that ranting does not have like the possibility of failure as we underestimated those while on our arm chair).
