HTML, CSS and our vanishing industry entry points

I can feel comfortable about the way we build the web changing because of my HTML and CSS skills; I know from past experience they allow me to hold the tools built on top of them lightly, to learn quickly and switch easily. There is something remarkable about the fact that, with everything we have created in the past 20 years or so, I can still take a complete beginner and teach them to build a simple webpage with HTML and CSS, in a day. However if you start by telling me that you haven’t really bothered to learn CSS, before deciding how you are going to replace it; if you belittle me (or I see you doing that to other people) because I don’t know your framework of choice, I might be slightly less amenable to your suggestions.
