It sort of bothers me how much feature creep CSS itself has undergone. Was it not enough to leave things simpler and just use pre-processors and JavaScript?

What hope does one have to implement the entire CSS spec from scratch now?

I see your point about separation of concerns.

This minesweeper, and the other examples in the comments, seem to capitalize on some hacky aspects of CSS, not features of the CSS spec.

In the real world, I doubt many people rely on CSS for things that JavaScript can do. (but I bet plenty of beginners use JavaScript, when CSS would have been more appropriate, haha)
