I saw yet another “CSS is a massively bloated mess” whine and I’m like. My dude. My brother in Chromium. It is trying as hard as it can to express the totality of visual presentation and layout design and typography and animation and digital interactivity and a few other things in a human-readable text format. It’s not bloated, it’s fantastically ambitious. Its reach is greater than most of us can hope to grasp. Put some *respect* on its *name*.

@Meyerweb Some problems are just hard. It does no one no good to pretend they aren’t.

Those same people then whine about complex test setups behind seemingly simple problems.

@slotos @Meyerweb yes! and, to CSS’s unending credit, difficult things seem to get easier all the time.

remember having to use floats to get column layouts? then came flexbox. and then came grids!

i feel like every time i look at CSS, something has improved.
