We were asked a few years later to do a follow-up and both of us agreed not to because this captures a certain time and ideology and that had already changed and I don't think it would have been that interesting. It did very very well and helped a lot of people myself included.馃ぃ

CSS Zen Garden is still relevant today in its original form. The lessons it teaches are very obviously not learned by everyone yet!!

It's gone backward due to Frameworks and not enough advocacy to bring better understanding to CSS Cascade and specificity. I keep threatening to do something about it but I can't work much and no one remembers me of this new era cuz I don't go out or talk Web much anymore :)

It's ok. There's a growing backlash against framework complexity and against the ever-bloating size of Web pages. I see a lot of younger devs deploying static web sites with little to no JavaScript now, and that is very encouraging.
