When was the last time you had a go at CSS? So much has changed since 2017. You can chuck out the pre-processor junk and just use CSS variables and CSS Grid. Productivity is 10x.

You can even keep it simple so that a page just loads the CSS it needs instead of some 40,000 line ball of junk.

Same with templates, if you are using CSS Grid you don't need the sea of div containers, you can just use actual content elements from HTML5 and never use a div.

Pseudo-selectors mean you don't need spans. You can get pretty things done without the markup in the document. Once you write HTML this way you wonder what on earth people are doing with these impossible toolchain and impossible HTML web pages. Regular development from about five years ago with frameworks and jQuery nonsense just looks like hacks.
