   Wonder where he's getting the impression "CSS impacts performance more than you might think", from my understanding of the underlying tech I'd say aside from downloading CSS should have negligable performance costs.

   On the otherhand as an implementer I must acknowledge CSS frameworks aren't incumbered by backwards compatibility to decisions innappropriate for today.

     P.S. I recommend https://simplecss.org/ , it gives a great base to build upon!

     @Pedro Yeah, CSS animations will be a little tricky to implement. In terms of how it interacts with layout...

     I'm thinking of naming my animation engine Fleischer!

     And at least in Firefox this isn't really an issue anymore, but it at least used to be the case that some CSS properties are more efficient than others. When CPU-rendering is being (partially) used. Not to mention those properties I have which require relayout!

     @alcinnz my mind went straight to CSS animations and those I have seen affecting performance (specially with multiple):
     "This can occur because CSS transitions/animations are resampling element styles in the main UI thread before each repaint event happens" https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Performance/CSS_JavaScript_animation_performance
