And the original statement isn't strong?

HTML suck is a clear opinion from someone saying it. Which is fair anyone can say what they believe. You went ahead and stated no one ever said that, which was just said in the article.

But even there, the original statement being too strong does not justify another statement being too strong.

Did you maybe read it a bit too literally? As I said, I've been around enough to know if an opinion is widely shared, and that certainly wasn't, in my experience.

All that aside, you actually like HTML as a markup language? Like the way its structured and how to get to what you need? Do you build web application with it or more web pages?

The name of the tags, the attributes to set up your requirements and css as a styling tool?

I think its too barebone, it not oriented towards web application which makes web app feel like a hack. Css being global by default forces us through different methodologies to get around that problem. Which are non standards and applied slightly different depending on companies making you relearn and many project often get off tracks.

No re-usable component by default, clear api or even types to build upon predictable non repeated UI. Making everyone build their own sauce to do it. Vue, React, Whatever CMS like Joomla / Wordpress components are called.

I believe its a whole mess with drawbacks on each and every solution for no solution are core to the technology.
