Don't like the "improvements" they made to the colours, which just made things harder to read. In particular the syntax highlighting has really poor contrast, and making the text less black isn't an improvement either.
It's good as a general introduction to what CSS can do, but it'd be better if accessibility was addressed.
I love Clint, but many of the social aspects of the things he covers goes straight over his head. Like in the Microsoft BOB review he fails to mention how the product was marketed towards stay-at-home mums, and how condescending it was in that regard. This is such a huge aspect of BOB that every reviewer gets wrong.
Getting rid of the master/slave dichotomy in software is worth pursuing. I can't think of any other pairs of terms with the same kind of hurtful baggage being used to describe other things in tech.

Haven't tried it yet, but apparently you can write DOS programs in JS. I honestly had a hard time wrapping my head around this when I first heard about it, because "JS interpreter" and "16-bit OS" don't mix in my brain.
As for why JS isn't more popular, Python has been around a hell of a lot longer, and JS has only caught up to other languages in the past few years.
