I think you are not stepping back far enough to look at the problem. Are you actually suggesting the entire complexity of the current web-stack (html, css, js and server side code) is essential to make web-apps?

I wasn't clear. I know there's a lot of incidental complexity in the web stack. But I'm afraid that some developers, in response to a stirring call to simplicity such as this manifesto, will go too far, blissfully unaware that some of the complexity of mature UI toolkits (not just the web stack, but also the native toolkits of mature platforms) is actually necessary.
