Challenges of Magento 2 theme design

Magento 2 is a comprehensive and, at times, complex system, and this is reflected in some of the challenges that designers come across when creating themes for Magento 2:

• Complexity: As Magento 2 is a large system, it can initially be infuriating to create themes with, though after some time you should become more familiar with Magento's inner workings
• Breadth of knowledge: Magento 2 theming involves tackling a mixture of XML (for layout files), CSS (for style), (X)HTML, and snippets of PHP (for the templates)
