Very true. I'd add it's the entire way the cascade works in #css much less as interpreted by browsers - and therein lies another <LAYER class="pun"> of the problem. It's not anti-CSS IMO so much as abstractionists blurring the connected-but-separate lines of the #Open Web Stack.
I’m convinced 40%+ of the anti-CSS complaining is out of frustration from folks who haven’t actually learned how Specificity works. I wrote CSS for five years before I knew this is a thing I needed to learn. It was @mholzschlag who taught me, at a presentation she gave in NYC.
