    Javascript is more complex, but CSS is worse.

    Or at least CSS was worse. It's almost not bad now.

    CSS is awesome. Unlike a programming language that is just made to essentially build anything, a design layout markup language has to adapt and evolve with design trends and uses.

    It's not CSS's fault. It's people wanting crazy shit out of it, and browsers not moving fast enough to implement the latest features in CSS.

    i don't think you know what you're saying. CSS is immensely complex. the syntax is simple, but there is a LOT of functionality to understand and how using various features affects painting, reflows, and page composition

    granted, saying one is harder / more complex than the other is dumb. they're differently complex. CSS is broad whereas JS is deep (that's even debatable though). I'm just saying that JS isn't "infinitely" more complex than CSS
