Give me better composition options with css. I will love it. Until then, it is a toxic relationship. I have to use a preprocessor for that and it increases the time to see feedback from the browser.
Don't get me wrong, of course if you'd ask me whether I could envision something better and more elegant than CSS I would immediately have ideas in the back of my mind — however if you'd tell me I'd be stuck with CSS as it is my response would probably be a neutral shrug. It could be better, but it is okay and the direction things are going (CSS variables, Grids, ...) are not too bad either.
People who call it horrible in my experience often just didn't really take the time to learn it properly. For me to handwrite the CSS for a normal sized personal blog takes maybe 6 hours if I do it from scratch with mobile support etc and most of the time goes into little design adjustments that have nothing to do with CSS. As I said: to me it is not great, but it doesn't really get into my way too much either.
Functional css totally changed my perspective on css. In the same way that react made me enjoy writing JS again Tailwind made me enjoy styling with css again. All that nasty coupling disappears.
