Caffeine is a drug, but when someone says "I don't want my kids doing drugs" we all know they aren't talking about Dr. Pepper. You knew exactly what they meant, why pretend otherwise?

If quality mattered then maybe the other toolkits would have a chance, but no one is looking at the web for that, they are looking to the one advantage that the web has that the others cannot hope to beat: They work around bureaucrats. At l

Namespaces, schemas, custom elements, client side templating, XML has so much stuff that the web threw away, so now its forced to reinvent worse versions of it every few years, a shame. Abandoning XML was the webs biggest mistake.
