@joelmeador Agreed, yeah. It also just propagates all the way down. Even single page microsites exist in an environment driven by the needs of giant corporations and "web scale" traffic.
@barometz this author claims "separation of concerns" is the driving force, but doesn't really explain why that is a more important goal than readable semantic css. There's nothing wrong with tightly coupled things that are intended to be used together.
@Xandra Granade 🏳️⚧️ We might as well go back to using <font> tags at this point. That said, procedurally-genetated code (which I assume is what this is) is usually ugly because debugging is typically done at a higher level of abstraction.

Or they wrote it in a WYSIWYG editor?
