My point was - if creating websites is so easy, why would we need any web-developers? In the best-of-all worlds, it would be straightforward - but in the real world there are lots of things to consider. We need specialists. You might only use CSS for layout, but that doesn't mean layout defines the full-extent of its functionality. When creating client-side user-interfaces, CSS is usually used in conjunction with other technologies. Front-end development often makes use of JS, and last time I checked that was a fully fledged programming language ;) CSS can provide a developer with a lot of flexibility - and the fact that you don't understand it is perhaps the main problem. I think people assume they don't need to actually learn CSS - and get annoyed when they realise their brain wasn't preloaded with the required knowledge :)
