> Why? EM/REM is good for handling font sizes, but for anything else it may not make sense and a custom font setting in the browser can break layouts if the size of boxes are based on font sizes. PX is perfectly adequate for layout, and is actually a relative unit(PX !== hardware pixel). Same for borders, padding, margin, etc. Even REM is better than EM for most cases. People who adjust the font size in their browser don't necessarily want their layout to change and potentially degrade as a result. I had a lot of bad experience with px, but it is true that for borders it's the only reasonable choice. REM is not that well supported, especially in awkward browsers (Dillo, for example). Imo EM is nicer for padding/margin; it keeps the text/layout ratio even if the font is resized, unlike px. But point taken, it cannot be used as the only unit.
