Feels very much like a channeling of Churchill's 'Democracy is the worst form of government' ditty, except as applied to HTML and PDF. PDF is horrible. But it's not 'as horrible' as HTML (with the rather loomingly large caveat that this is has very little to do with the formats and everything to do with what your average HTML dev ends up making, and only applies to the job of reading significant chunks of in-depth materials).

As a format, yes, what the fuck is everybody talking about? PDF is a disaster and should be killed off, HTML is great.
