I used to program in Erlang. The joy of it doesn't lie in FP. Not even closely. It's in the runtime, effortless processes etc. If all you can offer is "joy of programming in FP", you're in a cult.

This quote isn't about "vast majority of software". It's about tools we use and waste our time on.

People saying "this can be done with X" and listing the various combinations of tools miss the most important thing: I, the user, couldn't care less about spending time to collect and configure these separate, and often confl

The main reason I can think of is trapping input inside a modal dialog when it's required. Browsers recently rushed the dialog element and still have no easy solution for this.

Look at who makes up W3C. Then look at how much it costs to be a member. They could afford anything if they cared to. Most of the time they don't and so the small players like Chrome get away with anything.
