I do somewhat agree, but how would Javascript be made to create system looking controls (i.e. Unity date controls on Ubuntu, Windows like on Windows 7, etc.), without adding some extensions for DOM?

I personally dislike that CSS is turning into a miniature programming language, but I assume this is the way forward until something way better comes along and simply replaces HTML, CSS, JS. I mean its better to say width - 10 pixel than to make JS for each silly snipet like that.



By stopping trying to make a document technology bend into an application stack and use native applications instead?

The more web projects I work on, the more I like desktop technologies.


That ship sailed when forms were added. You might be interested in Gopher (no, really, it's still great).


If you are only doing data entry yes.

Thankfully many are doing native on the mobiles, and the stories of companies being burned by HTML5 not being ready help as well.


There's that "document technology" canard again. It never fails to appear.

So your suggestion on how to make the web better is to abandon it. Okay, your input here is done.


I am happy that I was able to fulfill your expectations...
