I suppose it’s good to have options, but damn the complexity of CSS these days…
I still wrestle with just trying to get the basics to do what I expect.
Also, I worry about the efficiency of the engines that handle all this complexity. How much of a CPU is getting used up to render complex CSS?
Modern CSS is already Turing complete. I wonder how much longer before we have to compile our CSS into some VM byte code for acceptable performance.
And at what point do we say this hodge-podged design has gotten out of hand and we need to go back and build from scratch?
