Currently it’s pretty tedious to edit CSS in Seaside. There’s the style method in the components or CSS methods in the file libraries. I think using some external CSS editor during development might be a little bit of an overkill. Once the webpage is done, this surely might be the right way to go, but not while exploring how the webpage might look like and giving it some basic style.
Developers don’t need the most feature-complete CSS editor out there. Instead they need a simple way of setting some object’s style. Doing this is just not possible with Seaside. Modifying strings in a method, inside an editor that is made for Smalltalk syntax and not for CSS, is really a pain. It’s even worse if you’re unfamiliar with CSS. Having a CSS editor should really ease the pain and speed up the process of creating webpages with Seaside.
The current layout of the CSS editor makes it unusable for more complex CSS files/entries
