Do people who talk this kind of shit about css really not understand they're just admitting they're not good at css?
If it were designed properly you wouldn't need to be good at it, it would be trivial and obvious to do the only thing anyone ever needs to do to their content within an area of the page
Good news: centering a div is insanely easy to do and has been for like 15 years.
You probably didn't expect that comment to make me feel so old.
Haha, sorry bout that. If it makes you feel any better, I felt pretty old about writing it too!
The last time I did any html/css work was about 15 years ago. Now I'm curious what's changed.
flex box, grid layout, and a million other things
If you need to be good at a layout language to center something, then maybe the layout language sucks.
What it says is zero knowledge on the part of the whiner.
You literally just have to give it a width and add
margin: 0 auto;I'm not good at programming Brainfuck, either.
You probably haven't put any effort into learning either language. I find that people who whine about css to normally be backend programmers who are really terrible at design and want a scapegoat to blame.
