I just searched for the tool[^], and got a bunch of gardening thingummies as the result.
Gardening + me = never gonna happen.

I would not say "...deserves..." I would say "...has earned..."
It would be nice if more companies were like that.

For me...
to deserve might something intrinsic (Life deserves respect)
to earn something is you win it due to your actions (I have earned the privilege to disagree with my boss)

Interesting, thank you for the clarification. I fundamentally disagree (the universe owes me nothing), and feel that all deserved things, good and bad, are earned by definition.
Maybe it's a cultural thing.

Absolutely, in fact I'm pondering if sending them my CV 
Also I'll refer to them if I'll have to spec and assemble PCs for friends/customers/acquaintances, something that I predict will happen as soon as someone sees my new rig.

Oh yes, the company is Tradeco and the site is Tradeco s.r.l.[^], the only problem is that the site is in Italian only I don't even know if they ship abroad, at best they have experience only with our neighbouring countries (France, Germany, Switzerland and the UK, where the majority of abroad italians live).

One hour to set up a page with some basic styling.
Two hours and a complete rewrite to set the height of a specific element 
Why CSS, why!? 
|
|
|
|
|
I know. I wrote a little RoR app for a friend, took about a day with all the functionality they need for their intranet. Put in styling? Another two days for, basically, three forms & 8 pages.

Why? Because HTML and CSS never made up their minds what they are. A layout description language for static documents? A GUI? A dynamic frontend for 'apps'? And what would they be without the third apocalyptic rider, JavaScript?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Well - I don't know. It works for me.
Even have generic auto-formatting pages driven by database table and creating generic tables based on SQL return (if any), including column headers - and all solid enough so a DBA with now HTML/CSS (or anything beyond VB6) can create reports. Sizing and positioning options all built in options, or safely ignored by defaults - even mixable, and its handled.
Now I will admit that they're all .php files - but that shouldn't make a difference.
Also, I have not the least qualm about using tables - and poop in the direction of anyone who thinks I ought not.

Holy crap!

You have to learn to think in CSS. It offers flexibility, and with that comes issues until it's mastered.

That would be funny if it wasn't so true, I used to dream in a language when I was learning it. VB then c# have both driven nightmares in the early learning stages.
I refuse to learn the current web stack as I shudder to think what my sub conscious would deliver if it had HTML and CSS to play with.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

I have to mutilate the mind?
Always assume the most illogical?
At least you'd always be thinking out of the box, I never get that alignment right!
At this point I'm happy when "height" actually sets height (spoiler: most of the time it doesn't)

Ha ha. Height is one of those old school religious concepts that just got carried over into CSS. The best way to think of it in web land is there is no height. You can still make it work though, you just have to dance around some issues.
Look at this way, if it were easy, then um it would be easy. Ha ha.
