I honestly would be OK with CSS if its only problem was anti-intuitive complexity. Unfortunately, CSS suffers from this complexity PLUS the fact that browser makers don't interpret CSS in the same ways. Both of these together make the whole enterprise of web development burn up far more time than is reasonable. What makes this even worse is that the w3c doesn't bother to step up and make clear the ambiguities of how CSS SHOULD BE interpreted. They're in a perfect position as an arbiter of correctness, but they squander that power and are content to leave everything up to variable interpretation. Sure, there are frameworks that abstract away the bullshit of CSS, but these are the result of COUNTLESS wasted hours of suffering that have propelled people to create layers of tooling for something that could have been VASTLY more simple in the first place.
