It's not TBL personally who's the problem, but people all over the world not seeing an issue in driving something ad absurdum over the course of 30 years, thereby creating the information and technology monopoly they claim to prevent. Including HNers: whenever some new CSS shite is coming out of the mouth of someone at W3C's CSS WG (the last holdout of W3C's power over "web standards") and then implemented by one of the extant players in the browser cartel, there's a big yippieh by "web developers"; not considering at all the out-of-control complexity. Is there an adult in the room? Please take a look at the state and quality of the CSS specs, and tell me when was the last time there was, on balance, an actual need for features introduced in the last 5-10 years, as opposed to the browser cartel pulling up the ladder. And yes, TBL is complicit in this.
