Beautiful insights! This essay really hits at the heart of what has been one of the biggest heartaches since the dawn of Web design.

I’m redesigning my personal website and had strongly considered Perch. I don’t think it’s the right tool for that particular job (because I actually want to get my hands dirty with the HTML), but I plan to purchase Perch to learn it, because I think it would be a perfect choice for a dozen other projects I can think of.

Thank you for articulating the problem so well, and for illuminating the future of a better Web!
