I disagree on one point, I don't think the people having problems 
changing are the young ones, those of us in the web industry that are 
young, have seen, either first hand, or through a history of sorts how 
things have changed and accept that we must stay on top of our knowledge. 

Generally, I find it is the older, more established designers that /did 
/learn html 3 or before that have a hard time, learning new methods.

Any Thoughts?
