That's incredibly arrogant phrasing by both you and the author.

Here's a better explanation of the hostility towards CSS.

Nested flexbox had bugs in IE11, which wasn't end of lifed until 2022. The nested CSS in the article came out in December 2023.

CSS first came out in 1996.

The current state is much improved, but don't pretend there wasn't a solid 20+ years of sucking before that.

I’ve always found CSS trivial to use and I’ve done some complex styles. I really wonder what people who complain about CSS are doing.

how is I hate CSS because IE was poorly maintained a serious argument?

For a long time, from the late 90's until roughly 2012, IE was the most popular browser. You had no choice but to work with it. If it didn't "work on IE", it didn't work.

They will cling to any cope they can because it’s easier than learning the tool properly.
