Why Good CSS Still Matters in 2015

I still enjoy writing CSS. There's a particular satisfaction in removing a handful of overrides because you've finally understood which rule was causing the trouble.

Frameworks don't save us from needing that understanding. When a layout breaks, I still need to inspect the box model, follow the cascade and work out where the width came from. I'd rather spend time learning those things than keep adding selectors until the page looks right at one screen size.
