I was *so* hoping that they changed the style system in vB4. They didn't. Ugh.

Unfortunately it looks like they kept the same system in place, and it's beyond me why everything is so separated into a million tiny different locations. It takes *forever* to build a fully functioning custom theme because of it.

I was really hoping for something more like Wordpress this time around. 1 or 2 css files max, and all of the template files editable within a textarea format.

It seems like the system they have and have had in place now is way unnecessarily complex.

Am I alone in this thinking or? If I'm wrong about this, then I encourage someone to provide an explanation of how this system is good. I'll be the first to admit if I'm wrong or "didn't think of that"
