>But the way to correct the situation isn't to write a rebuttal here. The world only notices better solutions when they exist, so creating them is step one.

Thanks, but I've clearly not made my point! I am saying that we don't need to each run off and create more solutions as that's how we got here in the first place. That is, we can't solve the problem of too many "solutions" by creating more solutions.

So, I think step one is to step back, all take a breath (devs, browser-makers, etc.) and look at creating a reasonable, cohesive platform for proper Web-development, free of the legacy baggage of a static document-based foundation with reams of duct tape on top.

Lol... this is way easier said than done. The ironic thing is, this has been attempted several times. In fact I would argue this thinking led to the React ecosystem.
