Not withstanding that HTML and the DOM are garbage to work with in any language


I'll take manipulating and working with the web DOM _any_ day over going back to old Win32, MFC, and other native abominations.


The DOM is a tree model. Navigating a tree is highly imperative. Developers allergic to imperative code tend to require unnecessary abstractions to make sense of the technology. Everything that follows is a foot gun of dependency hell.
