I guess this is due to globalness of specifiers. Imagine programming language in which every variable is global and mutable. Plus some properties inherited. Plus side effects from layout change.
Yes, the globalness is indeed an issue, but one that can be navigated to a degree. I was mostly referring to the ease with which you get layout side effects, e.g. adding a border to a top bar or changing its inner padding screws up the rest of the page, etc.
If you know enough about CSS, these things can also be worked around, but it makes the learning curve very very steep compared to most other programming languages (in the general sense), which is at odds with the straightforwardness of its purpose (i.e. defining layout).
