What if you already have a bunch of custom controls that are common to your app? I'm not suggesting not investigating more efficient selectors or better css practices to target multiple browsers easily, but once you have all the knowledge built up in one place, what do you gain by rewriting it?
When I start a project, if I'm working from scratch I usually rewrite a lot of the css every day, just to achieve the look I'm going for. Once I standardize some things like how text flows, some layouts, and forms, it's time to develop a nice list of css classes you use frequently and tinker with them as needed. Endlessly rewriting css gets you nowhere.
