Simplistic analysis of whether CSS sucks: this definitive guide is 1,126 pages long. On the Amazon page it also suggests the "Definitive guide to JavaScript" - it's 704 pages long.

If you can fully explain JS (an inexplicable bodge built on a tower of inexplicable bodges) in less pages then CSS almost definitely sucks.

It's a long book because of the copious visual examples.

I said it was simplistic :). Point taken.
