Interesting. Having made websites I think "of course that makes sense!". As a practical matter, getting wanted page appearance can require adding a few classes. I've been guilty of class proliferation caused by perfectionistic tweaking of things to the last nanogram. Anymore I strive not to go there.

What does resetting inconsistent browser behavior have to do with classless styling? Those two aren't the same.

I love classless CSS for rapid hand prototyping. LLMs are making this increasingly less necessary, but it's still great for creating tiny, performant CSS pages and some of the smaller ones can even be inlined in fewer bytes than it takes to make a 2nd round trip to the server to check if the asset has been updated. This is one of my secret weapons for creating web apps that load and render so fast you can feel the difference!

Reminds me of this website for checking classless stylesheets.

For me it is definitely Pico.css. Honorable mentions: simple.css, tacit, w3c-chocolate.

But might be due a revival on the shoulders of LLMs.
