I'm not sold on layers, they do nothing to simplify the current mess that CSS is, because they build on top of what's already out there. If CSS was built with the concept of layers, then it could probably be better. In reality, we'll always have specificity rules and IMO adding layers will just add to the complexity.

The specificity rule is not that hard to understand, I'm not sure what's the point of throwing layers in the mix. There are new CSS features I like and I see simplifying written code, but this is definitely not one of them.
