My main focus is JavaScript specialising in frontend UI with React. I like to explore different frameworks and technologies in my spare time. Learning languages (programming and real life) is a blast.

Great points, I think cascading is the most powerful and misunderstood concepts in CSS. I know of developers new to CSS who try and wrestle with cascading and force styles using !important or using ids instead of class selectors.
Yes. I think there's a couple of difficulties with the cascade, not only for beginners but even for intermediate CSS devs. The first is that you have to understand it in its entirety to be able to use it effectively. The other is there are very few guides on how to choose complex selectors to exploit specificity to your advantage. The mechanics of specificity is widely described, but there's very little about why it can work so well if it's used correctly.
