We use BEM and Sass at work and our CSS is still an unwieldy mess.



Ever thought you're just not that great at writing it?

I tend to use a combination of BEM component based rules and AtomicCSS inspired class-style, and my Sass tends to be pretty damn clean.

I think a lot of the problems with "web dev sucks!!12" mentality is that people come to it thinking that it should be easy, but it really isn't, and it's not going to be anytime soon.

Trying to build applications for multiple browsers to be used on multiple devices on multiple OSs that look good and work well isn't an easy job.

No, it's not perfect, but if you pay enough attention and do things right then it's quite a nice experience.

If your CSS sucks, maybe don't blame your tools before you blame yourself.
