CSS and component libraries, where to begin?
Over the years I have used a bunch of different flavors including, css-modules, styled-components, CSS + Sass and a few other things. But, over the last 3 years or so, I have been primarily using ChakraUI, which is a component library that offers a really nice way to setup your theme—based on styled-system—as well as control the styles and defaults of the components they offer, along with being able to build and style your own components, using the same system, all accessible via the main theme configuration.
But, since I am trying to shed the biases of the past, and explore all the new potentially new, hot stuff that could make my life in code potentially better, I decided to explore some of the new stuff that has been spinning out of the ChakraUI world, as well as some thoughts and questions I have about sticking with that world, or going all-in on Tailwind.
