I thought the argument, after reading the article, was to use spacer components that would define the space between elements because you would then be able to have differing margins when using in different contexts.

>avoid margins when creating reusable components

so, if this is using margins then they are not using reusable components? I mean, I have a difficult time taking the advice regarding CSS usage from someone not using reusable components.

Aside from all the other things people are saying this person doesn't know about, I don't think they know about the min, max, and clamp CSS functions which when used with margins can be amazing. Not to mention that the need to have different margins in different components uses might be handled with CSS variables, not mentioning that the variable can change due to its context seems an oversight making the rest of the article less than impressive.

on edit: it is of course a cheap shot to argue their site uses margins etc. I just wanted to note that I had sort of a disagreement as to the main takeaway from the article, and then I noted why I disagreed with that takeaway.
