Part of the problem is not that the CSS is too complicated. It's that every time someone adds a class to the CSS, it gets added to master CSS. which just gets bigger and bigger. They never trim out the unused classes. I've see (in some cases) more then 100 unused classes.

If you want to see overly complicated CSS that has absolutely ZERO reason to be complicated at all is Standard EBooks. Their CSS actually is some of the worst. And the worst part is they do it on purpose just because they can. They don't care.
