>If someone picks up a hammer and struggles to pound screws in with them, it’s not the hammer that’s defective.
If someone wants to hammer nails and they're given a blender, then the blender might not be defective, but it surely is not the right tool for the job, and it's imposed upon them.
Few people ever loved CSS. The majority always either hated it or learned to tolerate it. Most who do CSS today use a few different paradigms on top to make them tolerable like BEM, or use different transpilers to get a better language, or directly control styling from code, with CSS-in-JS libraries or like React does it.

Sure, I never denied its existance. Just its design.
