Yep, it's weird and controversial. That's why I wrote a book explaining it and used a pseudonym.
Now: ~60% of devs know some CSS, rest feel guilty
YSAC's pitch: ~10% of devs know lots of CSS, rest avoid it without guilt (they suck and that's okay)
I guess 0% would mean a dead CSS, so it's closer to dead, sure.
If you get a more powerful saw, you can either cut down more trees or you can spend less time cutting down trees. CSS is a more powerful saw now. I'm suggesting spending less time cutting down trees instead of cutting down more trees.
