I am not into the CSS game anymore, if anything needs to be done I'd just go with whatever widgets any CSS framework offers, but why has it been so hard for so long to center things with CSS (I believe flexbox finally fixed it) ?

That is exactly the code the website will generate if you select no IE support.
Yet it opens with this misleading blurb: > Centering in CSS is a pain in the ass. There seems to be a gazillion ways to do it, depending on a variety of factors. Which is no longer true in the great majority of cases.
Here's what I've been doing for years (The can be any element, like ): WFM YMMV

Also, this site seems to have gone up in 2015 and hasn't changed (substantially) since.
I also don't think you're correct in calling this a straw man. This is not a debate and there was no other party whose assertion this site seems to refute, so calling it a straw man doesn't seem to fit.

I just throw a in, it works well enough for most cases.

The element is obsolete and is not in the HTML5 spec...
It doesn't solve vertical centering, but I am secretly still a fan of the center-tag. Just does what it's name implies in most situations. I still don't get why its avoided like the plague.
