I 100% expect the general public to be able to write HTML.

You know what's unreasonable to expect from the general public, though? Knowing the rules to baseball. That shit's complicated.

There are many reasons why HTML is bad, but user friendliness is not one of them.

@enkiv2 I've got a bit of a different attitude.

1) I don't expect the general public to directly edit any plain text format. There's a widespread fear of such "coding".

2) I think there's something beautiful about HTML/CSS which gets lost under all the event handlers & <div> soup. And webdev education having entirely misplaced focus on tools like React rather than what browsers provide natively.

@alcinnz @enkiv2 freecodecamp has a whole course on HTML and CSS before they even get to JS, and then a whole JS course before they get to actually using JS with HTML in any way; are other places different?
