  1. None of the design programs support the REM unit. so the next time you feel like using Rem, try the following thought experiment: what if we use 1 pixel as the base unit for rem?. then everyone who wants to scale something there will be able to easily do it , and the rest of the developers will not suffer constantly translating pixels into remes when laying out the layout.
