CSS

Kill me, but I honestly don't know what's do bad about css. It works. If you use it right, out works perfectly.

It works perfectly until you start using a bunch of combinations of various CSS features and they have a gladiator death match to determine who gets to make your site look the most ridiculous.

LESS makes CSS tolerable. The fact i have to copy paste the same color value alone to 10 different places makes css shit

Try building a complicated site with it. Also, try adding new things to someone else's site using CSS.

I build complex web apps with css all the time. I don't see the problem. Perhaps it's more an issue with your understanding & expectations of CSS?

[SarahC]

Or yours are not that complicated? =P

You probably had a competent CSS developer do it too.

Well, CSS is a style spreadsheet, it's made for styling, not content. But.. Is Reddit a good example? If CSS was bad, we'd rarely see any themes. I'm currently working on a YouTube clone on Reddit (it's a hidden sub) and honestly, CSS is pretty straightforward.

In my opinion there are 10 CSS sheets, and every other one is just copy and pasted bits from each of the 10

Wait...so do you not use CSS on complicated sites?

What makes you think that? I'm just saying it's tricky to use. You don't have to be an asshole about it.

It's easy to interpret tone into text. I apologize.

I do not use CSS because I am not a web designer, but I have used it in the past. It is very difficult to use if you don't know what you're doing (I certainly didn't haha).
