While AMP gets a lot of hate, the project offers some decent advantages for new / casual web developers:

1) Strong shove towards default best practices: - using HTTPS (enabled by hosts that offer free LetsEncrypt certificate provisioning vs. milking newbies for money) - Mobile first design perspective - cleaner HTML; pushing CSS into the header - Toolbar validation that spots many common errors

2) Good pre-packaged components enable at least B+ level designs without going too far from the tutorials
