It seems odd that so much is required for basic access. Shouldn't there be some kind of mode that makes a marked up document out of everything and takes basic input?


Basic CSS layout features are missing from IE. If you want have a toolbar with some icons in it, you either have to do some hacky things with negative margins to prevent double margins on the edges or you can set "gap: 10px" on the container. Sure, the negative margins did get the job done, but at what point do you stop wasting all this time doing everything the more complex way to support a browser almost no one uses and has not been updated since 2013.


The console is rich with features that would be impossible to do with forms and basic input.

If you want a slim, performant and functional UI to AWS, just use the CLI.


The CLI lacks discoverability and initial setup wizards. It's not good for your first exposure to an AWS service.


Not a counterpoint, but there is an AWS CLI repl/shell out there with suggestions, type-ahead, and etc. I don't use it but I've seen it and it's pretty flash.
