Principles we use to write CSS for modern browsers

Recently CSS has got a lot of negativity. But I would like to defend it and show, that with good naming convention CSS works pretty well.

My 3 developers team has just developed React.js application with 7668 lines of CSS (and just 2 !important). During one year of development we had 0 issues with CSS. No refactoring typos, no style leaks, no performance problems, possibly, it is the most stable part of our application.

Here are main principles we use to write CSS for modern (IE11+) browsers:

Upgrading auth.User - the profile approach

Upgrading auth.User - the profile approach

This proposal presents a "middle ground" approach to improving and refactoring auth.User, based around a new concept of "profiles". These profiles provide the main customization hook for the user model, but the user model itself stays concrete and cannot be replaced.

I call it a middle ground because it doesn't go as far as refactoring the whole auth app -- a laudable goal, but one that I believe will ultimately take far too long -- but goes a bit further than just fixing the most egregious errors (username length, for example).

This proposal includes a fair number of design decisions -- you're reading the fifth or sixth draft. To keep things clear, the options have been pruned out and on the one I think is the "winner" is still there. But see the FAQ at the end for some discussion and justification of various choices.
