Oh really? Because every medium-to-large website I've ever looked at or developed has had a stylesheet that large. Facebook? Twitter? GitHub? 100k+ compressed stylesheets. Hell, even if your site is small-to-medium sized but very design-intensive, I could see you reaching that mark. Don't worry, I'm sure all those developers are "doing it wrong" too.

Well did you check the stylesheet of Twitter for instance? Only 40K but even then.. why even that big for a simple Twitter homepage!? So I'm sorry you did not convince me. And maybe, I know it's a bold statement, they are doing it wrong. I think it also has to do with frameworks. Sometimes frameworks spit out a lot of HTML you won't ever need. So the HTML is bloated in the first place. Then it's a hell of a job to style the mess. When you are fortunate to control the HTML you should first start to optimize your HTML before you even start with CSS.
