A visual timeline titled 'The CSS Eras' showing five web design layout phases: Nothing (black screen), Tables (stacked wooden furniture), Floats (person floating in water), Flex (person doing a handstand), and Grid (modern tiled wall)

Do people still write CSS in CSS files any more? I honestly don’t keep up with the trends as much as I did back when I started by career. Partly because I’ve started to feel that the web development community online has become a lot more “this(my) way is the best way” than when I started out at the tail-end of the HTML tables era and the start of the floats era.
