I agree; but I disagree that it is a hard level to reach.

Harder, yes, but nowhere near an order of magnitude difference.
By keeping the code simple (both HTML and CSS), a lot can be
achieved relatively easily. The biggest problem, expecially for
CSS, is over-coding. Most pages would look (and scale) much
better if chunks of the CSS were left out.
