I wish they took the use-case of resizable panels into account. Even if the implementation is fully user-land, a styleable separator that can also receive events would be so useful.

It's absolutely crazy that the only way to get a native splitter in HTML is to use iframes.

Front end web isn’t my specialty, but I really don’t know why framesets were deprecated. Having resizable panes as a primitive is crazy useful and applicable to several use cases (documentation with a nested tree sidebar comes to mind, for example).

Yeah they were ugly and looked like they came straight out of the Netscape 2.0 era (because they did) but that’s nothing CSS couldn’t have fixed.

what is "native splitter" why do I even want it?

I don't think that's true. The `resize` rule in CSS can do this.
