Material UI
Ready-to-use foundational React components, free forever. It includes Material UI, which implements Google's Material Design.
You'll be glad to hear that MUI is zeroing in (pun intended) on a zero runtime solution right now as an alternative to Emotion [0], although that GitHub issue doesn't capture just how far it has come. Expect more soon!

Nice! We copied StyleX's "type-safe extensions" in Truss [1] so things like `` are allowed (setting margin is fine) while disallowing `` (anything "not margin") that would mess up the components internal impl details with a compile error.
That said, we don't actually use the feature that much, vs. higher-level logical props like ``.
I know we're supposed to use build-time CSS-in-JS these days, but afaiu they don't support the rare-but-handy "just spread together ~4-5 different object literals from ~random different conditionals + props", i.e. intermixing styles some inside the component + outside the component, which emotion handles really well.
Basically this [2]. StyleX says it does "cross-file styles"...but can it support that? I kinda assume not, but I'm not sure.

To anyone for which learning lots of names of things that you use semi-frequently is a bottleneck: you can use spaced repetition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition) to remember them way more easily. I use Anki (https://apps.ankiweb.net/), SuperMemo is another option (with other features, and lots of interesting articles on their website).
For example, I've been using it to remember shell commands and options. Now whenever I have to search for an option that I think will be useful in the future, for example `-M/--max-columns` for ripgrep, I put it in Anki (question: "Ripgrep: Search for 'clukay' and don't print columns longer than 200 bytes", answer: "rg -M/--max-columns 200 clukay"). Each day I review my cards (~5/10 minutes at most). I used to not be able to remember an option like that that I use once a week, but now I can.
For more info on how to use it effectively, I've found https://borretti.me/article/effective-spaced-repetition to be really helpful.
