I’m sorry but what? This is terrible advice. I have never understood the desire to keep the web “inclusive”. Is the web not already inclusive? Can someone not already build a website with simple html/css?
The web has evolved and taken the place of desktop apps by and large. That is what SaaS has done. These websites are built to be fully functioning pieces of complex software. Using some tiny tools to markup html is never going to work for these types of applications.
I find this hand wringing over the complexity of the web so strange. Can we all just move on? The web has changed. I have been programming for over 15 years professionally. Yeah its changed. yeah frontend frameworks are a pain in the ass a lot of the time. So lets make it better, not fall backwards to a “simpler” time.
