Not parent but going forward I am hopping to get away without using any framework. Approach will be style all basic html elements and just use classes when there's no other way <button class="danger">. I feel latest developments in css (especialy grid, flexbox...) make a lot of thing that where really useful before not needed anymore.

On the other hand I think this articles are a bit clickbaithy. Yest you can have a very small stylesheet but are you sure you don't want to style your form components? not having more than one type of button. Not dealling with navigation for both desktop and mobile? I can make a 0 byte stylesheet for a empty body page and that's the perfect amount of css that page will need but has 0 usefullness in the real world.
