Personally I don't think CSS can hurt your creativity. On the contrary I think it has given Web Designers much more flexibility and freedom to pull off almost every design one can come up with. Furthermore I don't think you should stop thinking about what CSS can do in every browser if you're serious about Web Design. It can do the same in all browsers with a little tweaking and in commercial Web Design the sites have to look the same and function in all the major browsers.
@ Agilius:
Code only jobs would be hard to find though if all you can do is CSS/XHTML as most agencies will have the Web Designers doing that and then have ASP, Java, Coldfusion etc. developers doing the back end stuff. So if you want to do design only I would advice to pursue a career in Graphic/Print Design instead of Web Design.
