Me: cool, let's be creative, I love 2026.
Browsers: Yeah, but beware of limited availability, most of those creative examples are in the 40-50% browsers support range.

#12CSS and JavaScript are like two dysfunctional law enforcement agencies fighting over jurisdiction.
All web standards are like this, and then the battle continues when it comes to browser implementation.

#13CSS in 2025: Let's write html inlined styles as if it was 2005 and separation of formatting/representation was never invented. I talk of tailwind, of course.
Yeah let's do that. You have everything related to your component on place instead of jumping between files.
Is jumping between files supposed to be difficult or something?

In the past this was a major issue that meant useful features were only ever usable after IE/Safari finally supported them half a decade later, but it has seriously gotten better. Sadly as a result of Chromium's overbearing presence, but it's a helpful outcome at least.

Also modern CSS is often written in a tag either in a native web component or in a framework which supports single file component like vue or svelte.

#162015 is good enough. For example instead of grid center, one can use flex and margin auto. If you are building really nation-wide products, there are still a lot of guys in corporate with old windows (where even chrome stopped updating like win7). Or, you know, old or poor people with PC from 2008. Also don’t forget guys with mobile phones: not like one could easily install a browser there. Especially on phones which…
I definitely don't agree with all of these, but grid centering is pretty nice and has a lot fewer quirks than Flexbox based solutions.

#18CSS is the only thing from browsers we actually need. The rest can be done in a terminal. Contemporary terminals could even render the UI with way less memory. The browser is a nightmare because it wasn’t architected to run applications.

Tailwind is a direct response to how the "C" in "CSS" actually sucks, so there's no surprise that it's so popular.

Wait until you see React & JSX...
At least html and CSS are both presentation. React/JSX now confuses presentation and business logic.
