The "technologies" of the web seem to be a collaboration between Dr. Suess, Rube Goldberg, and H. P. Lovecraft.

Javascript I can cope with, and seems to be getting better steadily.

Now CSS has Flexbox, that seem to be getting usable too.

On the other hand, things like Shadow-DOM seem to be a way of retrofitting a document-centric language to make it application-centric, so it's not surprising that it comes across as a kludge.

I'm not sure what a completely clean reinvention of HTML would look like, complete with the ability to create new tags, etc.
