"The problem of element layout is a relatively simple one. It should not require some kind of in-depth "understanding" and extensive research. That's pretty much the point of the article, and I tend to agree."
maybe my comment was ill addressed, then. i agree with this. my sole intention was to express that once you get over it's issues, you can write css just as fluently as anything else.
perhaps what confused me is that the article is expressing a sentiment that's been common for nearly a decade.
- lwhi 16y agoI completely agree with you. It's not that hard - but it requires effort. If you continue to believe that CSS is an abomination and can't be tamed - you'll remain unable to use it.
- romaniv 16y agoEverything requires effort to use. Question is, how much. The effort to learn and use some technology should be comparable with the complexity of the problem it solves.
- lwhi 16y agoCSS provides solutions to some quite complicated problems - to think otherwise, is trivialising the work of front-end developers and designers .. and I think that might be part reason for some of the animosity that's often expressed. E.g. it's front-end / it's trivial ;)
