I don't recall saying anything about inline css though. To be specific, I'm saying that I prefer to have the column classes directly applied to the elements as opposed to using sass to include the column css to the semantic CSS classes of the elements.

I dunno what that has to do with applying a style attribute directly inline to an element.

I'll tell you what doe bug me, when I change the number of columns on my project, becasue that is coded directly into the elements, but honestly I've never had to do that very far into any project.

But practically I find that it's less difficult to make layout changes this way-- I can just cut sections and paste them somewhere else and I don't have to look elsewhere for their actual layout rules. I find it much more difficult to untangle the grid system when I can look at the classes directly on the elements.

I say this having had to do it even for my own code quite a bit... I just find it a little more difficult to think out when I don't have the columns listed on the elements themselves.
