An interesting read but poor tools can't only be attributed to shipping culture. A more important reason is the tools are good enough (only just, but that's enough) and at that point priorities change. And once momentum becomes big it's hard to change direction i.e. Javascript, so hard to revisit the fundamentals. Better tools are coming, such as Lighttable / Bret Victor's talk: https://vimeo.com/71278954 https://vimeo.com/71278954 . But it's not clear when they'll arrive! Will we still be developing web-apps in Javascript after another decade? It feels like we can do better.
