This article is extremely well written and energizes me... Having a framework that allows separating the graphical work from the logic would be great. But I have trouble imagining this idea passing the brutal test of production -- except for showcase websites and blogs. I'm specifically thinking about apps (linear?) But I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next and hope to get more information when the templates arrive :)
You're not alone! The feedback form shows overwhelming relief from developers tired of complexity. Single-page applications will be the true test of the standards-first approach, as that's where the contrast with current practices becomes most stark.
