The Debate Around “Do We Even Need CSS Anymore?”

There are three concerns all browsers deal with: HTML, CSS and Javascript. I know CSS has a lot of contention with people because of global styling and other things raised by this article, and I realize it has much improvement needed, but for where it has come today it&#x27;s a very powerful language.<p>Countless beginners, traditional web designers and developers, those working with systems like WordPress and beyond, CSS won&#x27;t go away anytime soon. It will be years before anything comes along to replace CSS, if it ever does.<p>I don&#x27;t know that putting CSS in JS is a bad idea, I see lots of benefits of inline styling, but this religious war against the front-end is only going to get louder and more partisan. Let&#x27;s hope the discussion stays civil.<p>I&#x27;m excited by the future of CSS for my own career, I hope CSS4 and beyond become higher priorities for standards bodies even more so because of these discussions.

Ok, I&#x27;m happy I didn&#x27;t learn CSS and stayed with HTML 4.01. Just stay on the trailing edge, and you avoid a lot of futile work! :-)

Ugh, if websites start requiring JavaScript for something as core as styling, then I&#x27;m just going to stop browsing those websites.
