Is 54 units too many units, or not enough?
About this episode
This week, I’m going to be talking a lot about CSS length units because one of the complaints I hear about CSS is the number of length units it has, with a total of 54 (not all of them are supported yet, though).
That is a lot of units. But this is a feature and not a bug.
