Fair, but skipping logical properties is just asking for trouble down the line. They make layouts way more predictable across languages and writing modes, and once you get them, simple stuff like one-line centers barely costs extra. It’s future-proofing, not overengineering.

Given how many people prefer to use the 4-property shortcuts even when that doesn't make sense, teaching the 2-property shortcuts seems like a good thing, even if you don't expect to support localizations where they matter the most.

Also, in my experience they interact with Flexbox and CSS Grid in useful ways that sometimes the "logical" properties are much easier to reason with than the 4-property versions or the individual property versions.
