For all its flaws, it's used successfully by millions of people, and that can't be bad.

Based on this logic I can produce list of things that can't be bad:

  • JavaScript (type coercions, prototypical inheritance, null and undefined, this)
  • C (manual memory management)
  • Java (easily eats all memory)
  • etc.

Maybe they are used not because they are good, but because of Lindy effect?

And there are a lot of new languages and a lot of new research. But CSS and JavaScript have monopoly over the web, that is why they still there. Lets wait till we get WASM
