Well some of us have already spent days and weeks learning and 
writing new CSS, and are now loathe to change it.  :-)  Perhaps 
it would have been easier with a modular design, but I can 
imagine that:

1) It wouldn't have been sufficient anyway (I'm doing a 
table-less liquid design, and any sufficiently generic thing is 
probably going to use tables, unless you're really good).
2) Loading all those modules is going to create separate hits on 
the server, decreasing performance.

2) is easy to solve with a script that compiles together the CSS 
bits you want, if the design can handle that.  1) is apparently 
impossible as long as IE exists.  Some of us are quite happy 
creating designs that don't work in IE, since you shouldn't use 
it anyway, but others may feel that's not a viable option.
