This article seems to think the CSS spec is too big, which I don’t think is the case. We should be able to access lots of rendering options via CSS. But CSS stylesheets are definitely way too big.
- a3w 4y agoIs disagree. I have no idea how to do CSS after five years of web programming, except using trial and error. Reading "what is new in CSS3" did not help much, but at least flexbox means I don't use howtocenterincss.com any more; while grids became my go-to for all problems, with four attributes that do something about margins and centering but I ignore them out of a lack of memorization.
- yamtaddle 4y agoI was really really good at CSS circa 2010 and understood and could apply a very broad set of its features, but I stepped away from web front-end around 2013 or 14 and when I look at a modern stylesheet I struggle to make any sense of it. And that's without SASS or whatever in the mix.
- dtagames 4y agoThe shadow DOM in web components helps with this a lot. (size/complexity of stylesheets)
- lucasmullens 4y agoThe article doesn't think that. Did you get to the end of the article? They agree with a tweet arguing the features are worth it.
