It must just be me that can hear so many designers and theme developers 
cursing and screaming because they have such a hard time overriding existing 
CSS.

The reason they have such a hard time doing that is because so much of both 
drupal.css and module specific css use highly specific selectors instead of 
using the css cascade intelligently and efficiently. This multi-class/ID on 
every element encourages lazy css writing.

But we went over all this months ago, so I'll shut up now and try and 
provide themes/patches that prove the point instead of ranting here :)
