> BEM, OOCSS, SMACSS, and friends pitched themselves as the "one true" solution. They all basically have something in common: they tell you to get rid of various CSS features to "simplify" things
Uh.. I don't think this author knows what BEM is

How do you figure? It's just a CSS methodology that avoids a certain kind of inheritance, which seems to match the comment.

BEM doesn't 'tell you to get rid of various CSS "features"', it just tells you how to name your classes and IDs

BEM is just a naming scheme. It's not a framework or library.

BEM, OOCSS, SMACSS are all methodologies, not just naming schemes.

You are correct. I missread it and was thinking BEM, unoCSS, etc. Such that BEM was something different then the rest of the list.
