The worst thing about CSS is that a lot of people don't bother learning it, then have a strong opinion after they were forced to use it for a day.

How dare people use CSS without learning in-depth all 20+ specifications! It's an outrage!

When people have problems using a tool, you should look at the tool rather than blaming the people. People aren't going to change. You don't tell people to be more careful using a bandsaw; you install safety features.

You obviously don't need to learn 20+ years of specs, just as with any programming language, markup language there is some stuff you need to use it in a modern way, the other stuff you can pick up as time goes on.
