Everything else I've used to date (for UIs) was either extremely limited or way more complicated to use in comparison
I personally feel like the only thing we're missing is a way more aggressive deprecation policy. Not actually removing the API, just clearly signal that you would probably be better off not using it in 2025.
- agos 1y agoCSS is really great, and I've felt this way since it was introduced - but the lack of tooling around it today is anachronistic
- braebo 1y agoCSS is incredible technology, but holy shit does it feel archaic in a large Typescript project to have a massive design system in a string. Why can’t I click an element and see the css files that apply to it? Why can I get autocomplete for my utility classes and custom properties? I would happily nuke CSS from a project for a typescript library that could marry the two worlds with minimal trade-offs, but I’ve yet to have the time or courage to dive into a library like vanilla-extract: https://vanilla-extract.style https://vanilla-extract.style
