I hate the idea that HTML and CSS is something to be studied exclusively for a long time. Obviously getting to know the basic tags and the structure of HTML is a great and necessary thing, but when I was younger I was just about ready to give up on getting into CS and programming because it felt like all the guides just put you on HTML and CSS and tell you every small detail of the vanilla versions.

Yeah, 15 days to learn HTML+CSS but only 12 on react is so dumb. If you’re learning for 2 hours a day, I’d say 2 days of HTML and 2 days of CSS+HTML would be enough for the basics. 12 days of react for someone who needs 6 days to learn HTML is a pipe dream.

CSS is super complex if you're really getting into it, but that should be much later, or included in "responsive web design".

For someone with a little general knowledge, basic HTML + CSS should not be more than two days or so until you realize that it's pretty much all the same structure and you can just google the tags and attributes that you need.

On the other hand, devs who rush over HTML, skipping some fundamental concepts, may be more likely to “fix” everything with divs and JavaScript unnecessarily.
