Stop the press. Web developers discover tooling desktop RAD developers were using in the 90's.
RADs didn't target web browsers (and especially not to this extent)
Because browsers are for documents.

#52This looks really neat. It also helps me understand why so many websites look bad on non-Mac platforms (aka 90% of desktops): designers who do stuff like "that looks a bit heavy, let's bump down the font weight a bit" without realizing that these settings look unreadable on Windows or Linux.
Golden girls and Matlock used to be the most popular shows on TV but advertisers hated them since the viewing demographic didn't actually buy anything.
Its ok to optimize for mac if that's who will give you money.

#53Earlier quoted context omitted.
I do doubt that, especially if it were phrased as "Is CSS code?" or similar. Though now I'm curious...
I'd be interested in seeing the results of a poll either way. In any case, my point is that even if we nail it down, all we're doing is figuring out what people mean by "code", not discovering any fundamental truths about coding or programming or HTML or anything.
Sure, and I'm not saying otherwise. But I stand by my take that what people (including people on HN) mean by "code" is "text instructions for a computer". That we disagree on that is fine, but I don't think it involves my misunderstanding semantics or any real disagreement about perscriptivism/descriptivism, as you seem to be reading into my comments.
