Dude, you are here telling me the same thing that dozens of hater/flamers readers have been telling me: "STOP IT ALL". The only difference is that you do in a polite style. I PREFER very much the brute, aggressive style. The rude ones are more honest and waste less of my time.

1) I am NOT asking for help. I am SHARING what I've learned. It seems trash for you, that's OK.

2) I will not try to learn with Figma or Photopea. Using the canvas only for drawing is exactly how BobSprite was in the past. It is much better now. I have an idea for you. Why don't you message the Figma and Photopea folks, telling them to learn with BobSprite and radically change their applications? Because it sounds absurd? EXACTLY!!!!

3) Why in the hell you suppose that the HTML/CSS code would be more readable? Have you ever read the code of BobSprite? Not that only file that is just a package of 120 files. Search GitHub for BobSprite and look at the source code. If you find it difficult to read... definitely you are not a programmer. Now, can somebody read CSS? I am not talking about understanding a single line. I am talking abut knowing what the result will be. I think not.

3) BobSprite, right now, doesn't have a version for large screens. Maybe I will create one in the future... by MY way.

4) Please read again the subtitle of the article: "Getting real control over your web application". This means I want control of the layout. I don't want the browser controlling it, and then I'm having to RETHINK/IMAGINE all possible layouts and having to write workarounds for each one.

5) About "if BobSprite used HTML/CSS, then would be capable of leaving room for": What is bugging you about BobSprite. Did you miss any panel? The current layout is the result of years of evolution and (recently) professional artist advice. The main panels are always visible, while others may hide in a very organized way. Besides, I *HATE* apps that offer a lot of silly choices of configuration: pure waste of time and mind.

6) About imperfect vision people that want to draw: Thanks God, there is Figma and Photopea, right?

7) About "motor disorders": the fewer people need to do, the better. The best thing is not having to dragging and adjusting panels all the time: HAIL THE FIXED LAYOUT!!!

8) About "canvas is painful". Just read the seventh chapter of this series. It was published today.
