I find your comment quite refreshing.

25 years ago, I was appalled how Microsoft Frontpage could transform a very simple word document (with little formatting) into an utterly indecipherable mess of HTML that rendered correctly.

With very simple transformations, I could paste the text of the document into notepad and add just a few heading tags for the same rendered result but a much more understandable source.

CSS had a lot of promise for simplifying the HTML content, but the world tried its hardest to prevent that.

Now we have multi-megabyte monsters for simple webpages (before even counting graphics).
