Stefano's Linotype: Why Programmers Suck at CSS Design
If I had a dime for every time I heard a web programmer apologize for the way his/her pages looked before revealing them, I certainly wouldn’t need to work anymore. As with color picking, I think that programmers tend to avoid doing certain things not because they are inherently bad at it, but because they don’t know how to proceed.

Also, when they talk to people that don’t share such problems and find it all too natural and obvious, it’s hard for the two to communicate in terms that make sense to a programmer.
