  • Yes. I think we’re missing each other pinpointing details while meaning the same. Every browser has it’s defaut or “standard” style, nowadays even adapting to the system theme and trying to guess if to use day or night settings etc. Nevertheless it won’t break lines in a reasonable way, won’t deal with footnotes in an acceptable way and either break the layout of pure text pages or the layout of illustrated pages. HTML5 makes these specific things somewhat better as it allows realtively advanced document structure but nevertheless, a few lines of CSS to reflect at least the prinipial character of the document are unlikely to hurt anyone in a worse way than a one-style-fits-all layout for everything will hurt tha vast majority.






  • Oh, come on. You really want some at least readable output. Things like image borders, consistently positioned images/diagrams, line breaks and page borders. Some whitespace and indentations, too. You just can’t read a couple of pages full of unformatted raw text without massive eye fatigue. I’m all for dumping JS and excessive frameworks, I’d prefer well-formed XHTML over any of that clients-side scripted crap, but totally rejecting CSS is pointless zealotry.

    Boring. 1999 called, they want their good, old Linux rant back. Seriously, I have heard every sentence of that before. Ten times and I have argued against all of it just as many times. Respect to everyone who still does but I have come to the conlusion that it’s just waste of time. Whenever I’m hearing these meticulous lists of complaints I know they’re not written by anyone who looks for solutions but just loves to complain and tell other people how stupid they are. That’s a lot more satisfying than feeling technically incompetent. You could just restart your system and be a happy Microslave ever after. There’s no need to bring down reasonable people who have kernels to compile and cryptic configuration files to edit on theiir green on black Tectronix terminals. Hahaha. Ha. Ha.
