The youngins' have no idea how good they have it. I'm an IE6 veteran and comparing now to then, today's CSS is a dream. I think most people dislike it nowadays because it requires two skillsets: visual creativity and technical aptitude (most people can only fulfill one of those halves). It can be easy to project shortcomings in visual creativity onto the language which I don't think is very fair but I tend to see often being at the root of people's dismissals of the language. If you're just taking designs from someone else and implementing them, the CSS part of front-end is comparatively easy to what it was just a decade and change ago. It's still not perfect (and never will be with competing browser vendors/rendering engines), but the time investment to implement complex designs is substantially less than it was. That's a win.
