External CSS

Why do people use external css files is it really worth the bother to create a different file just to have the css and html divided ?

1. Easier management 2. Lesser codes piled up together 3. When you open a notepad/text-editor you won't be opening up a zip-bomb

Is not an obligation, just do what is most comfortable to you. When your project grows bigger, you will need a centralized solution to manage the code. The industry standard is an external css file. But you can use a custom solution like "search and replace" or a component approach.

For me I would say it eases pressure when editing css its just as a module, it create a form of transparency where you only see the css not php, html or javascript. This helps in editing for one focuses deeply on the css not been distracted by other languages.
