Are you sure you don't have the meanings reversed? REM is the one that ignores nesting. EM doesn't, so on a simple site it's easier to use correctly.

- JoshuaRLi 8y agoI'm sure. For that reason (ignoring nesting), I think rem is easier to use correctly. I think what you're getting at is that simple sites have little nesting, therefore em, but I'm thinking about in terms of em being great for say, css framework developers.
