Skeleton UI (Svelte + Tailwind) is how I go about it. The developer experience is very good. As for the UX, that's mostly just a matter of actually thinking about how people will use the app and taking the time to account for it.

In my experience, bad UIs are a product of laziness more than know-how.

I’m not sure if you realized it or not, but Steve and Adam created this book and then went on to create Tailwind CSS shortly after.

You've basically just answered "with a brush" to the question "how do you think I should paint my wall". True, but irrelevant. You can make a ugly, unusable UIs with your listed frameworks. You can make amazing, smooth UIs with plain HTML+CSS.

What I learned during my professional career is that this is exactly what 80% of engineers are absolutely incapable of. Do belong to the 20% and hit the jackpot.
