In 2022 how often do you actually write text by hand in your HTML files? I find that beside the few buttons here and there (and that's if you don't have i18n), text is always going to be served by a server.

In 2022 we also all use text editors or IDEs that can collapse entire blocks of tags, to improve readability.

I'm not sure I can see a clear benefit here outside of very few edge cases, and I am sure it comes with its lot of disadvantages.

Static site generators (Jekyll, Hugo) are one example. Sometimes you can get away with markdown but often you end up marking up pages of text.

Even when you need to write actual HTML you still should use shorthand tools like emmet to write your markup faster and with less mistakes.
