You said { I have tried a number of different frameworks and techniques, including SASS, BEM and prepackaged styles }.

I understand that CSS is complicated, or else those alternatives would not exist. You tried many ways till discover what is the best for you.

The article tells what is best for me. And I wish someone have told me that years ago.

It is OK that you don't like the shortcuts, although they are very simple.

It is OK if you don't like anything in my CSS system. At least, the article alerts newcomers about some very important CSS gotchas.

But when I read { take time to learn the tools... mediocre things... need to learn 3 languages instead of trying to learn boomerang shortcuts } I have to wonder if you are suggesting that I don't know JavaScript, that I don't know CSS (enough) and that I do mediocre things. In case that is what you think, search my articles and you will change your mind.
