It's worth pointing out that MapCSS is a very niche technology, and whereas many thousands of people are forced to dip a toe in the CSS water against their will, that's unlikely with MapCSS. People who are customising map stylesheets are probably geeks to begin with and are probably playing with it partially for fun. I'd also point out that the main difficulties with CSS tend to be the conceptual ones: the the box model, understanding how text flows, and browser differences. The only conceptual difficulty in MapCSS that I've come across is layers: it's decidely counter-intuitive that two different rules that happen to share a layer will have their attributes merged together. Other than that, you don't have the incredibly complex interactions between different HTML elements to deal with...
