Feels like premature optimisation to me. Are there really cases where the CSS is so complex or the page loads so many resources that this effort is worthwhile? Maybe with the most complex web apps, I guess, but for almost all cases, I would have thought writing clean CSS, HTML, and JavaScript would render this unnecessary or even counterproductive.

Oh, writing clean css, html and js is THE WAY TO GO but you might inherit a messy project, download a template or even work on a project you coded poorly
