And we are not forced to use it directly. We can use good programming language allow declarative code (fp programming: elm, purescript) that compile in HTML/CSS.
That cannot be said enough: today in the browser you can leverage powerful APIs related to the graphic card, the location, the network and so on, when doing the same with desktop tech would be much more expensive to produce. What a great time to create and improve products
