I agree wholeheartedly. And IMO, CSS isn’t even difficult, it just requires you to properly and effectively visualize the cascade to handle downstream effects.

I agree wholeheartedly. And IMO, CSS isn’t even difficult, it just requires you to properly and effectively visualize the cascade to handle downstream effects. My problem is when people start using cognitive crutches such as LESS and SASS, which bloat the CSS immensely with insanely redundant styling. I once took a generated CSS file from a “professional” and cut it down from over 500kb to less than 180Kb with zero loss of functionality or presentation. One HTML widget had separate - and absolutely identical - CSS for each and every single one of the 25+ pages it was present on. That was 250+ lines of CSS, instantly evaporated by consolidating down to one common class and two special cases that had extra stuff. Which is insane.
