Has anyone done a proper comparison between MapCSS and Carto? Does Carto 
have any advantages? It has always been my impression that Carto was 
rather a niche "not invented here" thing whereas half the world supports 
MapCSS, and maybe one should simply fix TileMill to use MapCSS like 
everyone else does and be done with it. But that is a very prejudiced 
view from a hardcore OSM guy, and maybe Carto is more widely used 
outside OSM circles (or maybe Carto has the superior design or super 
cool features that MapCSS hasn't); I wouldn't know. Hence my question if 
there's a good comparison anywhere, ideally by someone who wasn't 
involved in the development of either.

Bye
Frederik
