...I do not need more new age HTML tags. If <toast> doesn't by default make a toast, it's useless. If I need to style it, I'll just make a <div> or <span> and do my thing.


That's fine if you're just worried about visual representation. But when you want to provide semantic meaning—for the visually impaired, search engine bots, and other non-traditional users—you want to convey more meaning than a div or span alone.

Of course, there are other ways (such as ARIA attributes) to accomplish this.


How brown is this toast, might I ask?

And from whence comes the bread?

The front-end in recent years has become an unintelligible mess between developers obsessing over toast (with no toaster in sight), and Hamburgers... Am I supposed to make a UI or order a meal?

And <clippy>? Did the mischevious little paperclip finally come back to irritatate me by making the noise of tapping on glass from an LCD screen?
