Wow, I have to admit I got here to the very wrong guys.
When you're already reflecting about !important, well then you're happy to use it, because you think and know about all the consequences. HN readers reflect a lot. So you're clearly the wrong audience.
I'm sorry for my harsh 'lazy and not so experienced' expression. But sometimes you have to exaggerate to be heard.
Those developers I'm talking about just don't think about the consequences. !important is not a tool for them, it's their last resort to fix something. And then? Well it's a dead end and the rise of all the problems with !important we are talking about. If they would know about chaining, they would have used chaining before using !important. It would be a mess too. Yes. But at least it's not a dead end for them and for any other developer who have to contribute to the same codebase.
