[TYPO3] Parsing CSS files - is it possible?

There is some logic behind it - so to my opinion its programming.

True - i believe that its working well but what is more powerful in the 
end? php or ts? also ts lacks of intuitivity to a degree.

Should be possible with php as well!

A guy i know showed me two websites that where for two similar 
associations. One was done completley with php, the other one was done 
with typo3. The guy who was able to make it without typo3. He is that 
kind of guy who programs and designs a whole website and configures your 
linux mail in a few minutes for free because hes so fast. But he told me 
that he doesnt like typo3 because it is too complex and there are too 
many typo3 specific things he has to take care of. i mean come on - 
typo3 outputs for example doctypes by default - then you use one of 
hundred ways of changing this with TS and still its not exactly what you 
would have done without typo3. people who know what they do without 
typo3 get quickly annoyed by these kind inconsistent behaviours.
