I like this a lot. Your points about getting your hands just dirty enough resonates with me. Yes, I happen to know how to do things with jQuery till everything is a (really) complicated mess (aka a single page app). If I don't have to write jQ and JS code myself at the beginning, I probably won't succumb to featuritis and can concentrate on the bigger picture, like testing how content and interactions could work.
Now somebody just needs to support for CSS. I wan't to say:
* a boxy thing roughly the size of 25% of browser window
* a list of things with random paragraphs
* a draggable
* a receptacle for draggable things
* when this receptacle receives this draggable this happens
* this is a top bar, this is a sidebar and they should stay put
* this is content area, all to other things go there
Yes, I know I can just use Bootstrap or whatnot, but then I'm down the rabbit hole tweaking this and that, because I have a direct control of everything, yet a measure of nothing.
