CSS grid and subgrid, nesting, variables, container queries, css layers…
In 2025 it’s a pleasure to work with. Props to the amazing people involved in pushing the standards forward.
Then again, writing stylesheets is still one of those things where, if you're not careful, everything spirals out of control. Often I'll make changes and wonder why nothing's happening and realize something was overridden by another rule somewhere, or I was mixing up two properties, or some other silly thing...
I also find it's a bit awkward to write var(--foo) every time... I wish I could just write --foo... I suppose there's a grammar issue somewhere, or maybe it would have increased the complexity of implementations of CSS.
It doesn't have to be this way; just write your CSS using Inverted Triangle CSS (ITCSS) [1] and these issues go away.
E.g: aspect-ratio: attr(width px) / attr(height px);
