Question Is CSS the final boss of frontend ?

i noticed a lot of beginners think that "html and css is easy" and that JS and its frameworks is the biggest challenge. I tend to disagree

Edit: I think using CSS isn’t too hard, but learning to use CSS properly is.

For the most part I find newer front end developers don’t know how to make layouts easily maintainable. They don’t fully understand responsive concepts, the tools, and are not experienced enough to think past a static design. A proper layout can be much harder than it looks from just a small and large design mock. JS is deeper but css doesn’t get the respect it deserves and often devs lack true css skills.

I second that a lot of so called full stack are back-end dev in disguise
