CSS is dead, long live CSS but in modules, please!

Kevin Mees at ReactJS Day 2016

Following the "React: CSS in JS" talk of @vjeux in late 2014, a plethora of discussion, prototypes and implementations followed that realized his ideas or expanded on them. One of the concepts that emerged is the notion of CSS Modules in mid 2015. In this talk I want to share my lessons learned after getting hands-on experience with CSS Modules in a shipped customer project and working on an open-source project that utilizes them. In particular I want to talk about their advantages over the other solutions but also about their shortcomings.
