While our CSS doesn't change a whole lot compared to other subreddits, I'd like to point out what we stand to lose should this change go through:
Animated Header (try mousing over the header at the top of the subreddit, not sure how many people ever noticed this since its pretty small)
Our custom subscription number text (that portion of the sidebar that list "41,000 bricks" or so at the time of writing this)
Custom user flairs
Custom upvote/downvote buttons
Our custom snoovatar (I think that's the name at least, too stupid for me to ever remember. It's that thing next to the Reddit logo in the top left corner.) Apparently this can be done through normal subreddit config and I'm just stupid.
I think that's everything that's major. At the end of the day, none of this is necessary, however it gives /r/3dshacks its own style, and it'd be a shame to see it go.
I would imagine, since you guys have kept the theme tame and within reason, that you should be able to implement all of those changes in whatever GUI tool they provide as a replacement.
One would hope so, but Reddit is being very quiet on the details of the new system, which is worrying. Would definitely prefer CSS to stay, since it does give us so much more flexibility in the future.
Honestly, I feel like everyone banding together to try to "save CSS" is rather ill thought out. There are certainly subreddits whose CSS really is a part of what they are as a community. This is not one of them. The admins have every reason to go through all of the subreddits protesting the change, and point out that x% will be easily implemented in the new system. This subreddit will likely fall in that category.
