There's nothing "clean" about using a link. @import is an actually useful feature: the ability to define dependencies. "This file depends on another, which I've imported." Instead, using link tags forced you to push dependencies all the way to the top of every project (just like script tags). This is a huge failure of web technologies, and its one reason why all the good frameworks have to include build tools to flatten dependencies.
