Why Are Front-End Framework Makers Illiterate And Utterly Ignorant Of HTML And CSS?
It’s well documented at this point my utter and total disgust with HTML/CSS frameworks. Monuments to ignorance, incompetence, and ineptitude that result in broken, slow loading, hard to create, hard to modify, hard to maintain websites. Yet somehow despite all the ridiculous demonstrable failings, middle fingers to usability and accessibility, and the polar opposite of sane and rational development, they continue to be media darlings suckering nubes and rubes alike. They maintain their status through fictional claims about “ease of use” or “better for collaboration”, sustaining echo chambers where dissent is stamped out, and just plain lying to people they continue to peddle their scams to the gullible.
And the core of this gullibility seems to be a complete lack of HTML literacy. A failure by pretty much the majority of people making websites to grasp what HTML semantics are, what and who it’s for, and why CSS is separate from HTML in the first place.
This is evident in the lie about how pissing classes all over the place for nothing over “utility” reasons. When all that they’re really doing is using marketing BS to cover up for the fact said classes are presentational. Aka the bleeding edge of the worse of mid to late 1990’s markup practices.
