No.

You know, there are people having a different vision of “The Web” as you 
have, and just because of that you want them to be locked away? 
Seriously, why do some people have to be so stubborn? We have 2009. Not 
1999, but 2009. It’s time for some advancement. The web isn’t only text 
& some floating images inbetween anymore.

There are quite a few crafts involved when building a website, including 
interface designers and programmers. As much as you’d give a rats ass 
about what the designer talks about programming you shouldn’t judge 
about the interface designer’s work. Since it’s his craft and not yours. 
And, please don’t take this personally, but programmers are usually 
really really bad [interface] designers. “Cobbler, stick to your last.”

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a programmer, too. I’m not really that good at 
interface design either, but I at least try to accept new ways of doing 
things. That’s what I usually expect from other fellow programmers, but 
people never cease to amaze me (in the negative sense).

Oh and btw: if you don’t use vim, you should be arrested by flamewar 
police and locked away for a veeeery long time...
(See what I did there?)

I am sincerely pissed. Not at you personally, but rather the cloud of 
ignorance gladly sharing its existense with me all the time.
