"But CSS sucks”

I believe a lot of the negativity towards CSS stems from not really knowing how to use it. Many developers kind of just skip learning the CSS fundamentals in favor of the more interesting Java- and TypeScript, and then go on to complain about a styling language they don’t understand.

True. I did a HTML+CSS-only gallery when CSS3 just came out. And was positively surprised a few days ago, that a online gallery viewer had a shareable URL per picture (GET request).

While JS forms should just die. They always lose the content on reload or failed send (because of brittle client-side JS send, instead of using age-old browser-features).
