So basically it's a tool to remove the mess that we've created? Maybe we shouldn't have done so in the first place.

Do you also scorn at the existence of debugging tools because we should've written the code correctly the first time?
Ha! that's one way of putting it. Another use case would be if you were to use a CSS framework (Bootstrap, Foundation) and you don't utilize all of it (they are both ~6k line files)
Half the time, I use tools the way a race car driver uses a five point harness. The things let me move at a pace that would otherwise be dangerous.

The rest of the time I use it to illustrate when we aren't living up to agreements that we've already made.

But we're just so good at creating messes!
I am looking for best practices for CSS. Can someone point me to one they found really useful?
