Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

I guess yeah 'cause that is what I exactly doing 👍

Answer 6

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.
