The modern web design trend towards heavy active scripting. HTML is simple, safe, consistent, easy to print, save, etc. It works. I generally liked the usability of the web much better 5-10 years ago vs today. It was inevitable that web developers would become discontented with HTML, but I don't …

My first "real" 3D accelerator was a Hercules Geforce2 …
