Is a CSS reset still necessary?

Question

Are CSS reset pages (like this one) still necessary in today's age? I assume the answer is yes but looking to see if I get surprised.

I've read thoroughly the HTML5 BoilerPlate from Paul Irish but don't see myself adopting a standard that isn't necessarily standard. [Rhetorical] Isn't this at least some cause of what got us into this mess if you put aside the IE bashing?

Answer 1

yes, the same reasons they were created still exist: several browsers have several different implementations of CSS, and this is one way to take care of them.

Answer 2

Necessary? No.

Some developers like to use them, some don't, but they are definitely not necessary.
