Why do people keep trying to abstract away the parts of web applications that have been carefully designed to solve that particular part of the problem as best they can with a ‘one size fits all’ solution?
To me the answer is obvious: we have people who don't understand CSS, who don't understand HTML, who do understand JavaScript (or Java, or Ruby, or Go, or whatever) who want to make web applications but have no interest in learning or understanding the reasons why we do things a certain way.
Frankly it depresses the hell out of me for the next generation of web applications, because it feels like we're taking a technological leap backwards.
