Yes but it's gtk, there's year of work behind the library. For a 
homemade GUI library CSS or not CSS is really just bikeshedding 
around the format. The real stuff is to write the rendering 
engine. It becomes particularly tricky when the engine also 
supports transformations. If something is not well done you see 
it directly after rotation and translation.
