Ok CSS sucks but what are the alternatives? What I see on other platforms requires some sort of WYSYWYG, which you can sort of do in the browser as well. They all generate XML, which I doubt is any more writable than CSS.

What I’ll forever complain about (as a front end developer) is that there’s no distinction between a document and an app. You can start from a blog post and turn it into a rocket just by throwing more JS at it.

I think only Google can fix it at this point:

- come up with a better alternative for apps

- reward websites that are content-only (or are guaranteed to support Reader view)

Now you could start to have simple documents and a powerful app platform.

Unfortunately this is hard to do as most developers will call bloody murder. So let’s enjoy CSS for the next hundred years, shall we?
