Oh dear, another one for the dark side. Saints preserve me
Nah, you are right, it is pretty awesome. And many parts can be automated - more fodder for the tinkerer! But the biggest bonus to me is that I don't have to learn yet another markup(like) language, I can stay with and expand on CSS. Next you'll be wanting to grab some extra fonts, like
these excellent free ones or
