JS is far more predictable than CSS.
CSS ( properly written ) is easier to debug than JS.
CSS has no console.log() for debugging, CSS often fails silently, and the demos in the link are more or less (albeit pretty neat) hacks, but don't use CSS features in the way the specifications intended.
Whenever someone makes a menu with CSS instead of javascript i go crazy as a user. The lack of delay is such a frustration.
Fortunately you can use animation-delay to simulate bloated Javascript.
History is going to look back at CSS in disbelief when it calculates the amount of engineering time was spent trying to position elements correctly. This isn't hating on CSS as much as how broken layout creation is with no end in sight--but plenty of hacks.
So in the first modal example, the document contains both dialog windows at the same time. Is that really what you want? Does that properly describe the content of your document?
The problem with relying on anchors means it stays in the browser history, so if you press 'back', you get the modal dialog again! I don't think this is very useful, but it is a fun exercise in CSS.

I write a lot of CSS and I would probably disagree. CSS has no console.log() for debugging, CSS often fails silently, and the demos in the link are more or less (albeit pretty neat) hacks, but don't use CSS features in the way the specifications intended.

It doesn't have a console.log, but it has `background: red`.
JS as a language and as such ( especially it's callback / event-driven nature ) makes it harder to debug.
I'd never even consider using most of these techniques in production - while they're interesting and showcase what CSS can do, they're practically unmaintainable.
