I hate almost all content-management systems, including blog software, partly for dumbing down on the richness of HTML, and partly because of their dependence on styles that go against the principles of good Web design. Indeed, I assume I hate all CMSes by default, until someone shows me a sensible one, whose default styles I don't have to fix. Instead, I'll record my rants here, in static HTML.
