Right, huge +1 for Chakra. Chakra is basically tailwind but built on react primitives. It feels lot cleaner, and solves most of the issues mentioned.

It's amazing for quick UI building.

Note however that this API is brought by Styled System [1], which Chakra uses (and exposes), and adds the component library and other niceties on top.

My only regret with Chakra is that it's a tad runtime-heavy, and it's not really adapted to static content. I'd love to see some sort of compiler that digests a React tree into rendered HTML + CSS, with minimal JS just for style interactions (is this what Svelte does?)
