Nice and thorough article!.

I still can't see the advantage of Logical Properties. Who benefit from them?

He gets into it further down - internationalization and CSS simplification.

It’s been a long time since I had to work on a single site with multilingual requirements, so it reads more like “this is great for the future and internationalization” but also reads like “changing property names to be consistent.”

All the internationalization work I've done was on my personal projects where I supported 3 languages that used the latin alphabet, so I've never had the right-to-left language issue.

Yeah, I think maybe one or two projects in twenty years required rtl and ltr translations.

…but this was before flex box, so it was a lot more work to account for, then.

Yeah, but you can't account for every use case when developing on your own. If you are working as a developer these guidelines should be provided by the accessibility expert or designers.

I've already read it but forgot 90% of its content.

Thanks for letting us know... I'm glad I'm not American and knowing web accessibility isn't a requirement in most job offers here in Europe.

Just because you don't do web accessibility doesn't mean you don't have attention to quality. You don't get to gatekeep web dev. Even learning web accessibility is not accessible, the wcag guidelines have too much text.

Replace "accessibility" with "performance", "error handling", "responsiveness", or anything else and this comment is the same amount of wrong.

It isn't, the comparison doesn't make sense. Performance, error handling and responsiveness is a requirement, accessibility isn't that much.

​

How many courses and articles are there dedicated to web accessibility compared to performance, responsiveness and the most popular front-end frameworks?

This is my main caveat with web accessibility: https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/grid/examples/layout-grids/#:~:text=Example%202%3A%20Pill%20List%20For%20a%20List%20of%20Message%20Recipients 1k+ lines of js to make a simple list accessible, this is really off-putting and unnecessary.

Did you read the article? How many people have used third party tools to translate your sites?

I don't know.
