css BEM - do we really need the E?

So I am working on a very large e-commerce site, only been on it a short time and the project was developed a year ago. Im thinking to refactor the css as it seems to have got out of hand...and I was wondering if we really need to use the E in css BEM methodology.

So long as you have sufficiently distinct sections of the site, cant all buttons for example inherit from the block button class and just use a modifier class to theme them differently...seems simpler and then you don't create any dependencies on a button being used in different sections of the site?

You don't "really" need any of BEM.

At the end of the day it comes down to what you are most comfortable with. If you feel that doing things a certain / different way will benefit you, then hey.. It's 2016 go crazy!

EDIT: It's now 2017, you can still go crazy...
