Discussion on: Is CSS objectively bad?

I didn't mean it to come as offence or something. I just point out, that there are other systems doing similar task... Sometimes it seems like we treat CSS as some holy grail. It is so precious, nobody suppose to say bad word about it, because it solves so hard problem. Indeed it is hard problem, but this doesn't mean we can't do better. Right?

I did not mean to come off as though I took offence. And I take your point. It's just that the part that styling for many different screens is not part of the reason CSS behaves differently. It's the other stuff I mentioned that makes it hard to compare with other solutions. Flutter is compiled and can know the environment in which it's run completely, for instance.

Just wanted to add to the conversation that an enormous amount of stake holders have come together on a standard and that it might be easier to make improvements to it than to replace it.
