The key reason why you (and likely most developers) struggle with CSS, is that you underestimate it.

Underestimating CSS leads to a strange feeling of tediousness when writing it, that makes having to deal with it a laborious and seemingly unrewarding task.

Not to mention a complete lack of debugging tools and methods, available for when things go wrong.
