I've been working with the front end for over a decade now in small and big teams, with different approach to CSS. I've seen things go horribly wrong for all the seemingly good reasons. Bloated CSS, people fearing to make any changes to existing "semantic" classes, people making changes to existing classes and introducing unforeseeable bugs in remote parts of the application, you name it. In my view nothing beats functional CSS. It's simple, pragmatic, easy to read and understand. And most importantly it'd hard to introduce hidden bugs with this approach.
