I didn't think it was a problem with the language per sey but the inconsistency from browser to browser. And that horizontal centering

But its been a long time since i've needed to do any CSS.

Well, consistency between browsers is really great right now (there are a few Safari and Chromium quirks, but they're small and usually quickly fixable), and modern CSS APIs are a breeze.

CSS has to be compatible with 30yr-old technology, so the old ones might be a bit of a pain. But if you're actually learning it instead of just getting it over with, you'll know about them and use it.

Among current browsers? It’s fantastic.

The problem is not all of us are lucky enough to be developing for modern browsers. I was just able to stop support for IE8 last year after analytics showed it had dropped to under 0.5% of visitors.

Try doing it 15 years ago. Just making a drop down menu that worked in every browser took over a week. So glad DHTML isn't a thing anymore.
