Pretty mixed feelings.

It's nice that there's all this "free" stuff that I can see and play with and just click to copy and drop into my own project without any thinking or worrying about buying UI kits…

… But I write novel CSS too. It's a very real part of my livelihood and this company is selling a product that can take my work without any attribution in the copied code. And then they seemingly use that work to market their product.

Important to remember that [even good] attribution is no substitute for an actual license to use somebody else's code. It's piracy. You wouldn't steal a policeman's helmet, etc.
