> I’m a ‘frontend of the frontend’ kind of guy. My expertise is in HTML and CSS,

There are 2 different things: documents and applications. These days you can find IDEs running in the browsers, excel spreadsheets, terminals and all other things which are not HTML documents. Yes, you cannot use <ul/> </li> to style an output of terminal `$ tree ` command. This is why you see <div/> soup when you examine HTML of the web terminal output.

As web-assembly becomes more mature, I expect developers to abandoned the HTML/CSS scene and leave it to HTML document template designers so there again can be a clear understanding when you have to use HTML.
