View submission: The web redesign, CSS, and mod tools
Can it not be forever, give users the choice?
Personally speaking, I don't own a phone or tablet device and generally don't want to own either of them so it feels like the site is almost trying to push those of us in a similar mindset away in favour of those who own such devices and spend every waking moment staring at the screen, wherever in the world they may be.
Plus, I quite like the individuality and uniqueness of some of the CSS designs, especially on r/SquaredCircle.

Jfyi, on a tablet in normal desktop browsing mode, CSS works just fine. Indeed, Reddit is annoying in that it defaults to the mobile (phone) version of the site (which then tries to tell you to instead use the app!!).

Typically the path you see in these kinds of transitions is that new features don't get support for the legacy system. So, things may have parity initially, but slowly people will move to the newer version as it gains new features the old one lacks.

I personally use my phone to view communities without having to look at their CSS, even though there is an option in preferences

Reddit is pulling a Windows 8 all over again.

Was about to comment the same thing. Of course you can make an addon that allows subs to do this and choose CSS if this gets deprecated.
