Well, I do respect CSS but it's definitely not a programming language by any sense of the word. That part is clear at least...

but it's the most important part of a work. No one will care about your database structure or you files structure or how you create you Classes, etc but everyone will care about how it looks and it must look good (good UI, good UX, etc).

And if my databasen doesn't work and produces wrong answers or take way to long.
No one will use you UI neither.

I take a basic UI before a malfunction application any Day of the week.

I take a reasonable working application with a great UI before the great with a basic UI also all days of the week, as Long as it works ok.

Basic proper function IS most important.
A pig with geat makeup is still a pig.

But yes, when you have working base, UI makes a difference.

will you release a non-working App or an App that take one year to load? I don't think you will do such thing. Identifying a wrong App and functionnal issue is something formal (either it work or not) but when it come to UI it's a different story.

You can spend days building an UI you think is good but later no one will use it because it's bad.

No one will accept a fast App with a bad UI but everyone may accept a laggy App having a perfect UI.

I'm still debating whether which statement is partially true or wrong in this discussion but I can confidently say that this comment which I replied to is definitely wrong whether as an opinion or a fact.
