It is as simple as it ever was to do what could be done 15 years ago with a simple text editor and access to the internet. Any adjoining aspect has gotten easier and cheaper by a magnitude.

It's just that what people want has gotten a lot harder to build.

The removal of the <center> tag in place of CSS black magic is definitely not "easier" than it was 15 years ago. However I suspect this is going to be one of those debates that we have to agree to disagree on.

I should add that I don't disagree with the deprecation of <center> from a language purists perspective. However it was still a step backwards in terms of ease of development when centring stuff in CSS is so clunky in comparison.

though i resisted for a long time, bootstrap brings back some of the old ways. <div class=“d-flex justify-content-center”>centered</div>
