@jxom went on to create bumbag and in that repo recommends Chakra as an alternative for these unmaintained libraries.

So not sure what controversy you're trying to stir. Fannypack didn't have dark mode, Accordions, Alerts, Breadcrumbs, responsive containers, and a whole slew of components that Chakra had.
In fact if you look at the Avatar component from Chakra 5 yrs ago vs the Fannypack Avatar you'll see the code is completely different.

The most likely story is he was just using Fannypack's docs as a reference for how to format his own.

This looks a lot better than I expected.
One thing that bugs me about this (and Tailwind) is the number of dependencies they pull in. Panda has 152 nodes (239, if you count their dev-dependencies)[0].
Tailwind has 98 (594 if you count their dev-dependencies).
I know they're only dev-dependencies, but still... I've got all of that code running on my machine, just to process CSS. I really don't love it.

Works in both React and Preact. It's designed to support generating styles at build time, but I've never bothered. For the sorts of things I work on, being able to quickly bang out a component is more important than golfing the bundle size or maintaining a design system.
jsxstyle feels like I can sculpt in code. It's really satisfying to hammer out some props and see a component come to life, especially when you've got hot module replacement working.
Based on a quick perusal of linked page, Panda seems like perhaps a more mature version of jsxstyle, but also more fidgety. As an army of one, I'm happy to optimize for iteration speed, but if I needed to maintain a system, maybe I'd consider switching to Panda.
