I agree, although, considering the age of Dreamweaver, I don't think we've come far enough. In other words, my younger self from early 00's would have expected way more from 2019. I didn't know what I wanted had a name (CCSS[1]), but I wanted it, and unfortunately for the web platform, there's still no official implementation, but at least there's a JS-based one[2].

The website associated with that second project appears to be hacked: https://gridstylesheets.org/

(not really apropos of anything, but it seems that the project has been abandoned)

Yeah, unfortunately. Hindsight 20/20: Using a JS-based layout engine alternative to CSS wouldn't make sense, but at least it counts as a proof of concept.
