That's the dumbest thing I've read in a long time.
I know what they're trying to say, which is that HTML/CSS does have its quirks and limitations, whether a function of the standard specs themselves or crummy browser implementation, but for crap's sake... of course HTML is a good language for making web pages! In case the WHATWG hasn't noticed, there are umpteen billion of them out there, each of which were written with HTML.
It's like saying "English isn't a very good language for writing books in English."
