This is a good question. I think when writing websites you will always need to know how HTML, CSS work. It is just part of job=). What OJ is trying to do differently is make parts of your website self contained into objects.
So think more, what if I could bundle a part of my website into ShoppingCartView, or HeaderBarWithLoginView? It doesn't remove the HTML and CSS it just simplifies how it is created because OJ Objects create themselves, and once created they modify themselves. Clearly to write these objects you will still need to use and know HTML and CSS, but this provides a different way of encapsulating things.
"Is there something wrong with using HTML and CSS?" I think yes and there is room for improvement to both but I don't think this is the correct solution for the problems.
I agree with this. I didn't mean to make it sound as if HTML and CSS were perfect. There is always room for improvements. For example, with CSS you now have the option to use LessCSS or SASS.
