Thanks for the tip Ihor, I've never heard of PostCSS, but will look into it. I mentioned SCSS because with Angular View Encapsulation developers can't go deep into CSS on current page. They once recommend using NgDeep for this but, it has been deprecated.

The only work around is to define the queries in the root; and using SCSS, it's simple to do.

This is actually a good example of where SCSS may be beneficial!

Gosh this is one of the things about Angular that drives me bonkers. All these host elements that screw up any sense of positional CSS which is especially frustrating for things like tab components.

I actually like the ViewEncapluation as I can literally copy a CSS file and just import it and it's encapsulated (whereas in React I'd probably make a foo.css get wrapped by foo.modulecss if I'm using CSS Modules). Tradeoffs I guess. But in terms of CSS and HTML Angular is the most frustrating for me (vs. Vue 3, Svelte and React -- I code in all of these)
