Indeed: most web designers are idiots, they used pixels all over the place,
forcing browsers authors to step in and work around their bad design. As a
consequence, the few web designers who are not idiots and have a good reason
to use pixels at some place have a hard time.

And it does not address the problem of user-mandated font sizes.

CSS did include from the start a mechanism to make design independent from
the resolution and font size: expressing length in ems. It still works,
still better than the workaround.

Since you are not an idiot, you will use it.
