What options exist today for making CSS easier? (It's been a long time since I've done front-end work)

Seems like there would be some sort of layer on top of it that someone built that makes things more consistent and then will compile down to the inconsistencies and odd behaviours for how CSS is supposed to be implemented.

There's supersets and siblings like scss, sass, less, there's different modes entirely like utility classes (Tailwind) and css-in-js.

I don't think any of those make CSS much easier, though. Quicker to use, easier to write certain things, sure. But you still need to know your way around CSS atleast somewhat before you jump in to some augmentation or replacement.
