Yes, but who still works on their cars at home? Cars don't go wrong
these days (compared to the recent past) so the "DIY cost-saving"
aspect has dwindled. If it does go wrong, it has probably surprised
you by spitting the exhaust out the day before you meant to go on
holiday, so you throw it at the garage in a hurry and console yourself
that it no longer happens very often.
If you are working on a car at home, chances are that it's 20+ years
old, an interesting "classic", not your main car, and you're doing it
because you _want_ to work on it as a hobby, not because you need a
car and you want to save money.
HTML has moved in the same way. If you just want an on-line diary or
photo gallery, sign up with a blog service. If you want a business web
site, the costs are now cheap and predictable (compared to last
century), so employ someone to do it for you quickly, competently and
cheaply. If you're hacking on raw HTML these days, it's either a job
or an interest in HTML itself.
