The lede captures a lot of why I appreciate CSS in a wonderfully fun sentence:
At the core of CSS is a series of cascading rules and classes marrying and mingling in an elegant symphony of style application. Dozens and dozens of declarative instructions for painting pixels on the screen come together in under a millisecond.
CSS wants you to build a system with it. It wants styles to build up, not flatten down.
In all my years of programming I have never loved a language more than CSS. There’s no other programming language that sparks my brain and lights up my imagination like CSS.
