>No CSS resets

Wait why?

I use style guides and bem from several companies, it seems that you come "close" to it. (No idea how to bring this in.)

But there's really an explanation why this has to be done.

Not the original commenter, but I believe it's only specific to Meyer's CSS reset and its descendants. Unless you're laboriously redefining every element that you'll be using, the costs far outstrip the benefits of removing everything and starting from scratch.

Plus, there's this tendency to not test for accessibility (I know that a significant portion of websites today aren't accessible for people with disabilities...)

Even ignoring users' concerns (which is to emphasize is plain wrong), depending on the specific reset, it tends to f*** up CSS ordering and makes debugging issues generally harder (since it clutters up everything).

Couldn’t have said it better myself. starts slow clap
