This is actually one of the main reasons I avoid react when I have the option. Styling in react is terrible, I'll use tailwind with it but only as the least bad option.

If I am using a frontend framework and a build step, svelte and astro are nice depending on the use case. I can style with plain old CSS and rarely have to reach for class names, if you keep components small you can get away with element selectors and let the framework scope styles at build time.
