Most of these surveys are rife with such stupid questions. That's akin to asking a carpenter or an auto mechanic, "How many tools do you use to do your job?" My response: "What blasted difference does it make what the tradesman uses, as long as the end result is a properly constructed house, or well tuned vehicle?"

True, but I would hope anything that could require maintenance uses a tool that is readily accessible versus something that costs thousands of dollars, takes hours to figure out and is used only once.

JS, no. It can be used outside the browser context. But HTML/CSS should definitely be considered together.

yeah, if you know just javascript great.
but if know javascript for purpose of html/css use, being that if you want to make a website, you should know these 3 languages
combined they are one programming language, is what I was trying to suggest.

With so many top level domains now available, the old rule of try and get them all (when there was only a handful) to protect your branding etc. goes out of the window if you are an average joe without a pocketful of corporate cash.
I own a .com, .net and .co.uk relating to an idea I had a while back (just checked, it was 13 years ago I registered them!), I have just started to have a play with the idea and with all the TLD's I am wondering is it worth registering any others, after all I have the .com which is the main one to hold. The one I am considering is .online, as it has a nice flow with the domain name itself and says exactly what the concept is. I probably will get it, after all it is only 24.99GBP/year(+vat)
With all the new Tlds, what's your thoughts? I feel having so many of them, just makes everything a mess...

IMO, unless you are a multinational corporation, protecting yourself on all TLDs is a waste of money. A corporation might want to protect their brand name for legal reasons (though how many people would really associate www.apple.xxx with the technology corporation?), but if www.DaveAuld.co.il were to be registered, I doubt that people would associate it with you.
If I were in your place, I would do exactly as you have done - register the more common generic TLDs and the country TLD(s) in which I expect to be operating. Nothing else.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I agree, the most common ones, .com, .net, .co.uk (or your own country's TLD) and possibly .org are all that really matter.
What annoys me is that I have the .net of a domain I was setting up for basically a hobby site but the .com was grabbed by someone who held it for a year, never got around to using it more than for a mostly non-functional, possibly prototype, web-site and then abandoned it. When I tried to get it, some blood sucking company had taken it over and sits there wanting several thousand to sell it to me! They have sat on it for over five years now and have not reduced their price to anything reasonable or let it go - it gets renewed each year but nothing is ever on it. If no-one had ever registered it I could get it for $25 or whatever rather than the $4,500 they are asking for it right now. There is something wrong when people can just sit on a site holding it for ransom because they think someone else wants it.

There's laws relating to this: Cybersquatting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[^], but if you jump down the page just a bit to "Legal Resolution" then you'll find out that you're "Sh^t out of Luck" on this point, unless, perhaps, if you're name is a registered trademark. Even in that case, if I were a juror and they got the domain before you registered your name as a trademark, I'd say you failed the test.
Now - if you were a big giant corporation and could actually afford the squatters fees you'd not have to pay them: you'd be protected.

Of course you have to register all. That's the reason those were introduced... To make you pay...

I thought the standard practice was incorporated Wibble Corporation in Delaware and then register wibble.com. All other domain names become superfluous as your DSBA registered lawyer will sue the hide off anyone who crosses you.

I continually get emails from some registrar in China saying they are going to register my company name in various Chinese domains if I don't act fast and buy them.
The whole point of all these new TLD's is simply to goad you into buying more useless domains. You only need one domain. If someone wants to register my name in some .tv domain or something, have at it bud. You're not going to bully me into doing anything I don't want to.
It's all a big ripoff. Just ignore them and move on.

I have a presumed guilty until proven guilty attitude to all the new TLDs. I've never seen anything but garbage from them, so always assume they're a spammer/malware peddler/etc and refuse to visit links to them.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
