We Keep Reinventing CSS, but Styling Was Never the Problem We’ve been building for the web for decades. CSS has had time to grow up, and in many ways, it has. We’ve got scoped styles, design tokens, cascade layers, even utility-first frameworks that promise to eliminate bikeshedding entirely. And yet, somehow, every new project still begins with a shrug and the same old question: “So… how are we styling things this time?” It’s not that we lack options.
