My business partner Karl Bunyan had a little rant on his blog last month about CSS.

I particularly liked:

“[CSS] It’s like inventing a paint-pot tin opener that opens paint-pots less efficiently than using a screwdriver, but using a screwdriver to open a paint pot isn’t ’semantic”.

I do recall the days of knocking entire sites up (with back-end capabilites) in days. Nowadays we’re quoting the same just for the template, let alone copy addition or the back-end. Yes, yes, CSS is generally A Good Thing, accessiblity, SEO organic schmanic. But I would agree with Karl that [quite literally] it pays not to get too precious about the whole thing. Work with what you’ve got and stop complaining dammit!
