What commenters say

  • The old web design tools like Frontpage and Dreamweaver are missed by some, but not by others, who see them as outdated.
  • The modern web development tools are not as accessible to non-technical users as the old tools were, and this has led to a decline in personal website creation.
  • Some argue that website accessibility and responsiveness are not as important as they are made out to be, and that users should be able to customize their browsing experience.
  • Others believe that website developers should prioritize accessibility and responsiveness, and that browser vendors should adhere to web standards to ensure consistency across different browsers.
  • There is a desire for a new generation of web development tools that are easy to use and allow for the creation of responsive, accessible websites.
  • The idea that websites should look the same in every browser is seen as outdated, and some argue that embracing differences in rendering is a better approach.
  • Browser vendors should allow users to override default behavior and customize their browsing experience, but should also adhere to web standards to ensure consistency.
