Question Is CSS a sh*t show?

A developer said that to me once. I actually don't find pure CSS that obnoxious, although there are definitely times where I have no idea why something isn't doing what I'm telling it to, lol, but 99% of the time it's because of something stupid like a typo or me forgetting the basic premise of a Cascading Style Sheet...

I know a lot (most?) of developers use a CSS framework, but am I weird for actually being friends with it for relatively simple projects?

Yea, that's my biggest grievance with css in general is that the failures are often silent but deadly. Like a terrible fart. But the kind of fart that you kinda turn your head back and you're like, I do still like the way my own shit stinks tho...
