alt Hacker NewsI appreciate the thoughtful replies. I struggle to understand why CSS is such a big deal if you're not building for the web. I can make my app as pretty as I'd like using styling that isn't CSS. OK, maybe I miss glow effects, some nicer gradients and 3D transforms, but those are far from showstoppers and still worth giving up for everything else I gain with iced
I don't have an eye for styling. That said, I have hundreds of hours of experience using CSS and frameworks such as tailwindCSS.
Of course, if I am being honest, the real reason is that there is so much CSS code out there, I can really find anything I need. And so can the LLMs.
