 * I wanted to see what the current consensus is regarding where I should be putting
   my custom CSS. I’m a bit old-school, so I have been putting styles in the style,
   css file in my child theme. But now I’m wondering if it wouldn’t be better to
   put it all in the customizer.
 * Thoughts?

 * I personally enjoy (and recommend) placing CSS in a childtheme’s style.css.
 * I tend to like to place everything in one location and have the original files
   on hand if I need to restore in haste.

 * Agreed, the customizer’s CSS panel is best for modifying existing themes where
   creating a child theme is more than one really needs. For custom themes, whether
   principal or child, style.css or descendant sheets are more appropriate.
