Why do people HATE CSS!? 👩‍💻 #technology #programmer #softwareengineer #webdev #javascript #code

Greatest problem with css is that there are a 100ways to center a div but you never know which ones gonna work.

As someone who is not a web frontend devloper, I see this as an absolute win

[JamLaMermelada]

I believe what people hate about css is the layout and sizing part. Flexbox, grid, position property and media queries is what you need to learn to build the designs you want

hearing you struggled with Vanilla CSS is giving me reassurance that i’m not just an idiot 😂 been struggling recently for sure 💀

[Exiide]

It is difficult to predict behaviours while writing css.

[talibytes]

I love vanilla css. It’s straightforward and makes sense. Occasionally something quirky comes up or something obvious is missing but I just don’t see the point of learning something else less universal/portable

[tyrohellion]

As someone who is more interested in design rather than backend kind of stuff. Writing the css for my projects is the most fun part

As someone that’s used CSS since its inception, I think it’s never been better. Major things like flex & grid are superb. Then you’ve got all the intricate little transforms that have replaced lines and lines of JavaScript.

[irokpe]

To avoid overriding styles, you should be very specific with targeting.

As someone who's recently picked up front end development again, I really dislike how many different ways there are to do things in CSS. Add the different libraries like Bootstrap and tailwind ect and it's becoming slightly overwhelming!

[ManvendraSK]

People start to learn CSS with a wrong mindset. CSS needs different perspective than the other languages. CSS properties are contextual and learning this context will make you appreciate the language. Though this context is neither clearly defined in the documentation nor even in editors.

I had been using plan css until recently, when I decided to redesign my entire portfolio.

[pqsk]

I don’t miss web development at all. At work there was a discussion about using modern JavaScript features and I even gave some feedback on checking analytics (since it’s not my team) if it would be possible. The whole discussion ended when the senior server dev explained that support was required for older browsers.

As someone just starting to take programing classes. I can confirm this was actually some of the first stuff I learned. Its been interesting talking with developers and hearing pretty much everything you've said. The real kicker is css played a pretty big part in helping me learn to google issues, and just see the rough structure of programming. Im sure that sounds dumb to veterans, but its worked for me and has helped take a first step towards any programing at all.

[TimurTripp]

Can confirm it is mostly Safari, so many weird bugs. I love using it but I hate developing for it

I absolutely vote for pure css approach and a project-consistent naming.

I have met so much of newcomer programers whose minds were corruptes upfront because they learned sass and not css first, and they just didnt understand how css selectors workes and something that couldve been written in simple css was weitten in a really terrible nested sass that required you to install whooping node_modules, drastically increasing server requirements ans costs and having to have a watcher/build stuff.

[moppermop]

Well, CSS has been trying to implement more features recently to make it easier to write in. Like just recently, they added the feature to nest rules inside eachother so you don't have to have 50 seperate rules for one thing. They've also recently defined the box alignment module, which when browsers have implemented will make it much easier to do things like actually center divs.

Giving me flashbacks of when I was trying to make my website mobile friendly and had to change all kinds of stuff 😂

[lenninhuaman]

I hate CSS because I can't center a div!!!
