I think you're right. CSS was more understandable to me after reading that it came from the world of print media. It's how things were laid out there and it was transformed into a language from those with domain knowledge.

But I would be curious if those who studied art also use the same terminology. If so, then it would make sense that it would seem more intuitive to them.
