Initially I thought the verbosity mattered but there was gains to be made restructuring my CSS too and it forced me to fill in some knowledge gaps so overall it was a big gain with a very small gain in bytes. I reached BEM via AirBNB's CSS style guide - to me the real value in these style guides is I don't have to care about formatting CSS, JS etc anymore. http://github.com/airbnb/css

Sadly using only classes is now considered a "Best Practice" and some employers forbid id or are considering it as an antipattern [1] resulting in a clusterfuck of classes in the html. But best practices in CSS changes so often that I wouldn't be surprised if people starts to use id again in two or three years. [1] https://github.com/airbnb/css
