CSS is not hard. Design is hard. Putting a technical barrier between yourself and a decent design makes designing a little harder. But CSS is just obscuring a really tough problem. One thing that makes CSS seem tough is its incompatibility with the design process. A "simple" design change can mean many many lines of CSS or CSS that is simply incompatible with existing CSS/HTML structure. The best CSS writers I've known all have backgrounds in design/art. It's a long term play, but I'd say invest in learning to design. Forget about CSS for a while.
