Perhaps you should give the citation.

I see some general (really pretty vague) criticisms of CSS in there, and I see a lot in there having to do with the inherent difficulty of implementing CSS consistently (though frankly it seems to me that these problems would exist with any complex style-based implementation), but I didn't see much to explain the incompatibility with WYSIWYG interface or friendly GUI editor in particular. (Sure, this is claimed, but no specific support is given for the claim.) So I still don't think you've answered my question. I appreicate the effort, though.

Out of curiosity, what do you dislike about CSS? Just that you haven't found an editor you like, or is there something in particular? E.g., the way a certain property is handled, or inheritance in general, or ...? I'd be pleased with one or two examples.
