Personally, I haven't found them useful. They make subtle mistakes and you'll spend longer debugging and iterating than just doing it yourself. If you're completely stumped, asking an LLM can give you direction. But you'll need domain knowledge to validate and fix the generated code.

LLMs solve the easy problem (writing code) but don't help with the hard problem (domain knowledge).

If it could fix all my CSS problems I'd be impressed.
100% I’d rather have specialised LLMs that can solve some hairy problems like CSS , than what we have now
I feel like CSS is more of a problem for a SAT solver than for an LLM. But really it is the place where I feel need the most help, particularly when debugging or modifying CSS written by people who didn't really understand CSS. (With a total of 40+ standards documents defining it, who really does?)
