I agree! As a journalist that codes his own site/blog, I've never took the time to learn anything more complex than good and old HTML and CSS to structure a page, and the short incursions I had in complex system (node, SCSS, frameworks), the returns for the kind of sites I developed was so little I couldn't be bothered to climb the learning curve.

HTML + CSS + sprinkles of vanilla JS is the perfect recipe for readable, fast, and high resilient web pages.
