In my experience, Zeplin is pretty poor as far as it comes to CSS. Modern UIs should be designed relative to font size the user has selected for his or her browser and as a result, your front end should be sized using raw em and rem everywhere. Zeplin doesn't support that as far as I know.
Try to create semantic markup first and use CSS (and maybe JS) to tweak the UI if really needed. Once you understand CSS well (and hopefully don't need to support MSIE or older Safari releases) it seems pretty clear that the V in MVC is CSS in web development.
Yeah, CSS is pretty huge spec. And the compability between older browsers hasn't been that good. But in the end, CSS is the best we have for any environment.

Definitely, something that I had not accounted for when I began CSSing. Thank you for the advice.

Very true, I've just been using the font-size in pixels generated via Zeplin.

Very insightful. I put some thought to the notion and I agree completely.

Sad but true... a great big nemesis that I have been forced to conquer :)
I immensely appreciate your feedback Mikko. It widened my perspective related to CSS and also supplied real-life applicable project design advice. Thank you very much! :)
