   I have already thrown out Cascading StyleSheets. The alternative is HTML. If I could throw out HTML and start from scratch is a better question.

    I prefer not to use tabs at all. Rather than opening a new tab, instead I almost always open in a new window. I have Firefox customized to hide the tab bar when there is only one tab. The luxury of lots of high resolution monitors helps as

    I am definitely the former. I didn't like C too much in 1986 but there wasn't really anything else except writing in Assembler! Having programmed in Pascal, it wasn't too much of a leap to transition to C. The C compilers at
