I just can't get into css. I would much prefer to use this framework than have to think about it... But maybe thats just me

The only reason I got into it was http://www.csszengarden.com

Knowing that you can change a layout in that many ways just using CSS...its quite humbling.

I've found programmable templating frameworks to be more powerful and maintainable than 100% css.

Looking at what a lot of those zengarden designs do behind the scenes shows you just how ugly css can be.

It's pretty great for that. It allows you to do complex layouts a little faster while keeping them readable. I'll be using it for any future sites I design.
