I’m so confused why people are ragging on this. Why is this considered detrimental? Looks pretty good to me…

I'm no expert in this domain, but I suspect it's less "this is a bad problem to solve" and more "every solution to a problem moves farther away from the ideal simplicity of a markup langage."

(I'm not weighing in on the validity of this position, just reporting what I perceive the position itself to be.)

It's a post about web development on HN. Half the comments will rag incessantly, half will talk about how the web should go back to being a delivery mechanism for documents only like it's 1995 forever, someone will rant about Google for some reason. It's a neverending nightmare.
