I've been on a similar journey for a while and (for me) I've found a decent 
balance between learning and scaffolding by using bootstrap and bootswatch for 
primarily css layout, styling and design. Bootstrap is done by people far more 
skilled at CSS than I am and it's helpful to see how they think about it. 

http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/
Bootstrap a reasonably well designed css framework that does a decent job of 
"cascading" 
I don't get all of the benefits because I don't use much of the javascript 
stuff (it's based on jQuery and I'm treading cautiously in mixing this with the 
Ajax framework where most of the javascript I have is comfortable (if aging)

http://bootswatch.com/
This is based on bootstrap and  uses style sheet compiler to build local 
differences and custom frameworks.
