This is weird, because designers I've worked with hate CSS bloat even more than I do, and love things like consistent spacing and typography. The movement towards styleguides has been one of the biggest things happening in design in the last year or so, which is exactly what you're talking about with not writing CSS.

To add to this, the addition of a style guide is helpful on two fronts.

* Components and patterns are standardized, allowing for less process in design reviews and quicker iteration

* Engineers can create component libraries that mirror style guide elements and turn frontend work into something a little closer to 'lego' building
