While I agree with the main thrust of this comment; I don't think I'll ever "earn a true appreciation for CSS". Even the most careful application of class naming guidelines eventually creeps into specificity battles, and you cannot predict exactly what a line of CSS will do until it's actually applied to an element. However: it's unclear to me what a better solution would look like; and it's clear to me that nothing better would ever be so much better as to "beat" CSS.
