Hey, I have a healthy respect for Ballmer (1600 SATs, advanced math degree from Harvard).

I don’t hate MS at all. They made me a good living when I was getting started. They actually spread the wealth (for small and medium sized shops at least).

My post was meant to be an indictment of Google.

This whole html/css layout shit with js sprinkled on top is nothing but a giant moat. Complexity for complexity’s sake.

You could render resolution independent vector art & text with pixel perfect layout orders of magnitude more efficiently. It’d be printable too.

It just laughable to be honest.
