Websites like csszengarden.com showed us the promise of style sheets

And that's all it was - promise. There is a reason why CSS Zen Garden was just an example using a single page as a template.

In reality, people now make webapps of incredible size. A lot of what CSS Modules seems to be trying to fix is exactly that - how to maintain a lot of styles without namespace clashing, one giant CSS file, etc. etc.

I spent a lot of time dealing with all that, so I don't look back at the past in a positive way. I'm not saying CSS Modules is the answer, but it's interesting at least.
