You don't use CSS just to make pages pretty. It is useful for accessibility and user experience as well. Not to mention personalization. Not every page needs to have a carbon copy style of others. CSS is so useful it is almost ridiculous to say HTML never needed it.
- nologic01 3y agoNot sure why people are banging against css. Its just fundamental separation of content logic from content representation which is best practice (see e.g grammar of graphics) I think people are just burning out from the oppresive tech environment, the endless hypes, the lack of a feel-good factor. All these negatively experienced developmemts are taking their toll. This forces people into all sorts of extreme corners, like the gemini protocol or css-less sites.
- qwerty456127 3y ago> CSS is so useful it is almost ridiculous to say HTML never needed it I didn't mean CSS is useless, I meant it is not necessary for every website to define their own CSS to look nice and not ugly. The problem is almost no ordinary user knows they can define their own defaults (fonts, background - in browser settings, more complex - in user CSS).
- mxuribe 3y agoLong, long ago, when i first learned that i could define my own (css) defaults on my browser, my mind was blown! I can't recall if it was back in netscape navigator or early fireforx days...but learning the command path from the menu to "turn off css styles" (View -> Page Style -> No style) made me feel like some sort of superpowered being! lol :-D More seriously, it actually helped me better understand the web, html, web pages as documents "downloaded" by the browser, etc. I became a much better web dev for it - beyond feeling like i had more freedom due to software/app.!
