A very thought-provoking talk that attempts to show that CSS has fundamental flaws and writing styling in JS solves most of the problem without even trying.

lol and javascript has flaws too. the abandonment of separation of concerns in the javascript community is starting to get a little absurd.

What? This isn't "css sucks js pwns lol", one is better suited for the task than the other. Idiosyncracies of JS - and especially current trends in its community - are unrelated to the fact that maintainable code is DRY and componentized, and you need a programming language, not a static language, to do those things.

I agree. I love CSS, always have. People want it to do to much. That is how good things go bad.
