This is a gross abuse of html, but if you really want that syntax, you can have it.
I can't say I understand all the complaining here. You want to make $200K a year sitting at a desk, but learning flexbox or googling when you need it is too much effort?
Im tired of programmers who've become experts in building structures by ramming screws into wood with a hammer claiming that all is well with the world when you have powerful hammers and screws.
I think we have a whole generation of front end programmers who haven't seen a screw driver.
And my complaint is that I believe that computing should be accessible to everyone, and that simple things should not be made difficult just so that an elite guild can command above-market wages to fix problems that they themselves created. I don't believe in broken-windows economics.
But at least you are entertaining.
Who first tested and implemented CSS? Browser programmers.
These days it's under the control of committee. I think I would disagree with the notion that CSS devs are the ones to blame in this case. Sure, there's lots of blame to share for the problems. To imply that CSS developers intentionally forced it to be complicated for purposes of job security is laughable.
After all, CSS is not C++.
