SOS! CSS is eating my timeline!

"You thought CSS was going to be easy!"

It only took one attempt at pure vanilla CSS to see where things go awry. Deciding on a structure before you begin is complicated, and CSS is already hard! I am now sold on the argument that no one should be writing pure CSS.

Where to begin then?

My understanding of CSS frameworks and librariesand the landscape of the twois a bit shaky to begin with. I am having a hard time even weeding through potential directions to start looking. Some qualities I'm looking for:

  • Quickest to visually tolerable
  • Lightweight, fast
  • FW/lib/method aligns with future CSS work

    It doesn't have to be:

  • Devastatingly gorgeous - if I need to make it prettier I will do the hard work
  • Idiot proof - I don't need it to abstract away CSS writing process

    To give a little context here was my impression of a few frameworks:

  • Bootstrap seems convenient but too heavy. Might be suitable for professional contexts where specs are sacrificed for short turnarounds.
  • CSS-in-JS seems too heavy and like it will die in the near future.
  • Utility-class frameworks and libraries seemed not any easier than pure (BEM) CSS. It felt more suited to managing large projects or many projects over time.

    Can anyone recommend a CSS framework or library for young devs like me?
