A good content management system manages the separation of content and markup. CSS manages the separation of markup and presentation. People who don’t understand this difference (or don’t care about the separation of markup and presentation) tend to think that CSS is useless, or worse, that it’s the threat to their content management system. Which is nonsense; the two technologies are complementary. Sites that use both well will invariably give a better end-user experience than sites that use either badly, or that use one to the exclusion of the other.
