I have about equal time doing both. Still rather do assembler. Assembler is outstandingly deterministic. CSS feels like I'm fighting Microsoft Word.

That's a bit overblown, you are comparing a diarrhea to a tornado dismantling your house.

In the 2000s CSS used to be more messy, now it's all standardized across browsers, no ? Seems much easier

Assembler doesn't have margin collapse.

I've done more things in asm than CSS, but I've spent far more time doing CSS.

In assembly, any complexity is 'your fault' since the language is so simple.

CSS is often a lot of tedious trial and error, even if it has improved.
