View submission: The web redesign, CSS, and mod tools
Yeah, agreed. And this bit:
Increasing users are viewing Reddit on mobile (over 50%), **where CSS is not supported.**
That was your decisions admins, not ours. Give us the ability to target elements and using media queries and it wouldn't be a problem.
That said, I've had custom subreddit CSS disabled for like a year so it won't affect me, but when I was a mod of a big sub it was pretty important for us so we could display prominent information easily to users.
Really gonna need to know what this new style system is before I can get on board with this.

Only because they chose to make a native app and increase their development workload instead of wrapping a Webkit view, which would have 1) supported CSS, and 2) allowed them to offer the exact same user experience fearly seamlessly across desktop, mobile web, and mobile native.
Just sayin'.

My main fear with this new system is that it's launched as what is effectively a skin changer. Change subreddit colors, banner, etc. All of the function components we have are always "coming next update." Maybe not a logical fear, but a fear nonetheless.

Yeah why aren't we getting more info on the new system?
Basically Reddit is eating a tasty PB&J right now that is CSS. And the admins are saying "We don't like that you're eating that contently, how about we get rid of the crust and had another ingredient?" "We won't tell you much about the change, but we think we know what's best for you.
Us: but we know what's best for ourselves. Here's exactly what we want you to do.
Admins: lol
