Strengths & Limitations

Category: css

An overview of strengths and limitations in CSS.

Strengths:

  • Performance is paramount (no JS parsing/execution overhead)
  • Progressive enhancement required (works without JS)
  • Cross-framework portability needed (design systems)
  • Accessibility is non-negotiable (semantic styling)
  • SEO/first paint optimization critical (static rendering)
  • Long-term maintenance (stable specs, backward compatible)
  • Clear separation of concerns (structure in HTML, style in CSS) can aid readability and maintainability if well-structured.

Limitations:

  • Slower for quick prototyping
  • Requires architectural discipline
