- BobaFloutist 3y agoAnything anyone's been doing for 15+ years starts to feel easy, because any component that takes a year to learn how to do (which is, by any measure, something quite difficult to learn) you've known for 14 years.
- Gualdrapo 3y agoI saw your user name. Wink, wink I knew about HTML/CSS around 2004, and knew about C++ in late 2005 - so kind of about the same time, almost 20 years ago. Both of them have evolved and have had substantial additions since then, but I can't imagine that I'd say "C++ is easy!" if I kept putting my nose on it all this years - even back then the pointers thing (and pointers to pointers, to be more specific... won't even think about all its new stuff) was absurdly difficult to understand for me. Whereas the concepts behind CSS were much easier to understand, the difficulty I found about it (and what I suspect people say it's "difficult") was in its implementation - styling for IE was a living hell, and after that all the gibberish we had to do to support -moz, -webkit, -o, -ms and co, and now all the platforms, modes, layers, medias and all of that we have to take care of. But I repeat - it's not that the core of what CSS does or how it works is the difficult part.
