Not a fan.

I'm waiting for the day developers realize the fallacy of sticking with pixels as their measurement for Things on the Internet.

With a deeper understanding of CSS, one would recognize that simply parsing it out for only the components "above the fold" (which, why are pixels being used here in such an assumptive manner?), completely misses what is being used in modern CSS today - global variables, content-centric declarations, units based on character-widths, and so many other tools that would negate "needing" to do this in the first place.

Yes, this is for specific use cases, I don't have a use for this for sites where I coded everything myself, this has been useful for static sites where I downloaded a template that uses libraries, probably useful for people with similar cases
