    There is always new stuff to learn with this. I've been writing CSS for 20 years now and I'm still learning new stuff. If you haven't yet worked with SASS / SCSS, definitely look into that. It's a huge time-saver. My favorite current SCSS framework is Primitive UI ( https://taniarascia.github.io/primitive/ ). I've tried other frameworks (Bootstrap, Tailwind, Zurb Foundation) and they're all very...noisy. Primitive UI is a nice reset and keeps your source clean. Use whatever you like, of course.
