Actually each class does NOT always map to a single property. In what I consider to be its greatest strength each class is actually designed to do some very specific thing that can actually require multiple CSS properties and settings. For eg the breakpoint classes are fairly complex but allow you incredible flexibility in building responsive UIs
Thus not much more difficult to read and remember than css key value pairs.
Why would you typecheck component class names? If so, its all strings, seems pretty easy less error prone than inline styles.
