Now with the slow death and lessening support of IE6 and even IE7, my CSS life has never been easier. I build some layout and test in IE8, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, most always, my layout is laid out. I spent the time and it's gotten easier. Now people are complaining "it's too hard. I don't want to learn. What happened to the 1997 misnomer that any one can build a website?"
"But CSS is hard..." Well life is hard. Listen I have spent years learning the ins and outs of CSS. (Mostly Browser compatibility issues and best use principals.) I have spent years learning all the skills in my web development tool kit. This is what allows me to bill for my skills; not everyone can do them.
- regularfry 16y agoThat's the broken window fallacy at work. Why should CSS be hard? Why should it take years to learn the CSS-specific skills which, as far as I can see, mostly involve memorising hacks to work around browser bugs and a fundamentally insufficient layout model? All that energy you and I have expended learning this crap is effort we couldn't put towards something actually useful.
