Styling React 2023 edition
Over the past few years, I've worked with React apps utilising various CSS-in-JS libraries, starting with styled-components, transitioning through emotion, Theme UI, and finally Stitches. I've also integrated MUI, Mantine, and Chakra in numerous client projects.

HyperUI: Free Open Source Tailwind CSS Components
Radix has some great ideas that challenge the way components are usually built. I'd love to use it, but am somewhat burned by how Stitches stopped being maintained due to the changes in React 18. Context: https://github.com/stitchesjs/stitches/discussions/1149#disc...
To be clear, it's not so much that they decided to not spend time, energy and money into maintaining it, but that there's seemingly been very little (if any) interest in letting others maintain it despite several people expressing interest. I'm sure it's scare handing over commit access, but if you're giving it up anyway then why not just do it, see what happens? Instead it's just dead in the water.
I'd happily pay license fees to use Radix and/or Stitches, if that guarantees maintenance. Sadly that's not an option it seems.

Why do experienced front-end developers use CSS frameworks?
I work on a lot of more "creative" projects where frameworks like TailwindCSS or Bootstrap just don't cut it. My approach has always been to use some kind of library to ease the process of creating my own CSS framework that can then be used by other people. I find that Stitches does it pretty well. You set your design tokens, then you have IntelliSense to help people understand the design system.

I created a Zero-Runtime CSS-in-JS Library Compatible with Next.js App Router and RSC
Some libraries, such as Stitches, claim near-zero runtime performance overhead by tackling the first issue (parsing JavaScript CSS objects). Nevertheless, they still inject the parsed CSS into the DOM at runtime, which means they haven’t entirely eliminated the performance concerns.
-
what's the best way for styling our components in react?
Stitches allows you to map your design system
-
What are ways we can integrate our designers into our React projects?
Define strict system of colors, spaces, etc then attempt to synchronize usage of it in both design and code (tools like https://vanilla-extract.style/ or https://stitches.dev/ can help with enforcing system on software side)
-
What would be your styling library of choice if you were starting a new project?
Curious to understand what is trending. We've been big fans of Stitches, however, unfortunately the project is no longer maintained.

Getting started with NextUI and Next.js
According to the docs, NextUI is a React UI library that allows you to make beautiful, modern, and fast websites/applications regardless of your design experience. It is created with React and Stitches, based on React Aria, and inspired by Vuesax.

Fixing Class Composition in Tailwind CSS
One of the more promising alternatives is twin.macro - a Babel macro that processes Tailwind classes to generate JS objects understandable by various CSS-in-JS libraries. The developer experience (DX) of using it is amazing as you not only get all of Tailwind’s features without much change to your code, but you also get much more flexibility - all that on top of the traditional benefits of CSS-in-JS. Here’s an example code:

What unpopular webdev opinions do you have?
If you use Tailwind with React a lot, and are wanting support for Styled Components, give Twin Macro a look. They're close to finishing support for TW v3 in their Releases section :)

Stailwc: an swc plugin for transpiling tailwind directives at compile time
The blocker for us using it is our use of an excellent library called twin.macro which is built against babel's transpilation APIs to parse tailwindcss directives at compile time so that they may be used with css-in-js libraries. This efficiently bundles your css so that you only ship the precise css you use. The problem is, it's all quite slow.
