You say "css fans" like we have a choice in the matter :)

I am a fan of building websites, and css is the only way to achieve that. Yeah it sucks, but it's all we got. Grid spec solves a LOT of problems so even if the syntax is ugly, it's existence in the world is beautiful.

Sorry I didn't mean it to sound like that. I'm saying this to myself just as to everyone else (I'm using CSS all the time). The post was more an expression of dissatisfaction of CSS's ad-hoc nature, and in particular of how we've come to rationalize this HTML/CSS/JS trifecta after the fact as a sound and dogmatic edifice, when in reality it is just the result a 10 days code jam in 1996.

I'm a fan on BEM and SASS, though. :)
