A recruiter asked me this.
React is pretty much its own language at this point. With J/TSX. Not even CSS is immune to react's approach of "what everything was proprammatically generated divs?", case and point https://www.styletron.org

Tailwind CSS v3
Some technical thoughts as someone who could care less about fanboyism:
- One point where atomic CSS frameworks are supposed to shine over conventional CSS is bundle size, since they (at least the good ones) compile to only a single rule for any used value, rather than potentially repeating rules for semantically different classes.
- Another point where atomic CSS frameworks shine is just sheer volume of banging code out. When the bulk of your output is visual, mastering tools based on shorthands like tailwind, emmet, etc can feel very productive.
- Purely atomic CSS frameworks can make some workflows more difficult, e.g. by having too granular call sites and not allowing "let's see what happens to the overall theme if I do this design change" iterative style of work, or because workflows that edit CSS on the fly via browser devtools can no longer be used to limit impact within semantic lines (e.g. "I want to change padding only on buttons, without breaking everything else that happens to depend on the same padding value"). There are both design-oriented and debugging-oriented workflows that are affected in similar ways.
- You generally don't get visual regressions at a distance w/ atomic CSS. This matters at organizations where desire for pixel precision and simultaneously fickle design teams are the norm. But conversely, "can we just change the font size to be a bit bigger across the site" can often run into issues of missed spots. On a similar note, designs may become inconsistent across a site over time due to the hyper local nature of atomic CSS oriented development.
- Custom rules may as well be written in APL[0]; they usually aren't documented and it takes a "you-gotta-know-them-to-know-them" sort of familiarity to be able to work with them (or get back to them after a while).
- There are some tools that mix and match atomic CSS with other paradigms. For example, styletron[0] can output atomic CSS for the bundling benefits, but looks like React styled components from a devexp perspective, and has rendering modes that output traditional-looking debug classes for chrome devtool oriented workflows.
The main theme to be aware of: proponents rarely talk of maintenance, so beware of honeymoon effect. Detractors often omit that traditional CSS (especially at scale) also requires a lot of diligence to maintain. So think about maintenance and how AOP[1] vs hyperlocal development workflows interact with your organization's design culture.

5 React.js UI Component libraries.
It is created, managed, and utilized by Uber. It includes a wide range of attractive components, with accessibility as the top focus. It is quick since it is built with the Styletron engine. Style overrides can be used to tweak themes, but in my experience, I've never required them because the design vibe they're trying for is precisely what I want.

@blocz/react-responsive v3 is out
When we created the library, we were using styletron for our styles, and we wanted to bind the breakpoints we defined in @blocz/react-responsive with the breakpoints used for our styles.

How are folks feeling about the React team's push toward server components?
dang, I never thought about this implication, and I googled the emotionjs repo there's a currently-active open issue regarding this https://github.com/emotion-js/emotion/issues/2928

I created a Zero-Runtime CSS-in-JS Library Compatible with Next.js App Router and RSC
Over my years of working with React, I’ve loved using CSS-in-JS libraries like Emotion and Styled-components. However, their inherent performance overhead from injecting CSS at runtime and their incompatibility with the latest Next.js features such as App Router and React Server Components (RSC) have always been a nagging issue for me.

Next.js App Directory Architecture First Impressions
An early difficulty I encountered was using UI component libraries like Mantine and Material UI in the new architecture. After looking through some GitHub issues, the culprit is Emotion, a package many component libraries rely on that does not support server rendering.

CSS Style Guide for Web Dev?
In general I recommend using styled-components or emotion. These directly attach CSS to your components in a scoped way so that your CSS files aren’t stepping on each other’s toes all the time and make sure styling is colocated with the component.

Server Components
I ran into this problem as well. The root cause as I understand it is emotion: https://github.com/emotion-js/emotion/issues/2928
