No, the joke is that in CSS the solution isn't always obvious and often takes multiple attempts (to a non-expert like me, anyway). Sometimes things you expect to work don't and you end up in the depths of Chrome Developer Tools trying to work out why.
I don't think people dismiss CSS as being inadequate, it's just occasionally difficult and frustrating.
- ethanbond 10y agoWhat language or even tool is the above comment not true for?
- petepete 10y agoWell, in other languages or tools you get a helpful error message, or you can add a break point or log output to a file. In CSS, not so much. Edit, reload, review, repeat. I know it's not a fair comparison, but it's true.
- thoughtpalette 10y agoLinters are helping in many of these cases.
- coldtea 10y agoIn the same magnitude as CSS? None.
