While there is nothing inherently wrong with the language, there have traditionally been vast inconsistencies across implementations such that the whole "Peter fighting blinds" meme becomes quite relevant. Further, it's worth noting that even the amazing demo shown on the page wasn't written in CSS -- it's written is SASS, a separate language that makes up for what many people see as CSS's shortcomings. Even further, the page highlights upcoming features, such as grid layout, which WOULD be awesome IF and WHEN they are implemented in all browsers, but as we learned with CSS 3.0/3.1, implementing certain features may not go according to plan. I agree, no one should be belittled for using CSS as their "weapon of choice", and in fact, in many cases, it is the best choice, but let's acknowledge that there are real reasons to criticize it other than the fact that some think of it as "weird" language.
