view_component
A framework for building reusable, testable & encapsulated view components in Ruby on Rails.
Agreed - they even include almost at the top of their homepage [1] a quote from the creator which includes: "If you can suppress the urge to retch long enough to give it a chance, I really think you’ll wonder how you ever worked with CSS any other way."

Completely agree with you. I greatly prefer something like PicoCSS (https://picocss.com/) which tries to use plain HTML5 as much as possible.
Tailwind's implementation is a total mess. I have a custom preset for UnoCSS [1] focused on Tailwind compatability and use that for my company's low code platform. It's a couple orders of magnitude better for both size and latency and switching has allowed me to delete all the supporting code I'd written to work around Tailwind-the-implementation's shortcomings. I have minor complaints about Uno but I recommend it if you're having trouble with Tailwind.

If you mean build your own design system then I've built four separate design systems in SCSS since 2009. I've been fine with switching to Tailwind instead because I can get similar results customizing the theme, it's more comprehensive than my systems, and the network effect advantages of somethign popular vs my one-off thing.
> but with no 3rd party components available
There are a ton of great 3rd party components available in tailwind now. https://daisyui.com/ is one I've been using.
And a great thing about that is they're not React-specific, Vue-specific, etc. You can use them in raw html or your JS library flavor of choice.
This isn't meant as a contradiction of your point, but there are plenty of ways to use component-based architectures with server-side rendered apps, too, like GitHub's ViewComponent gem for Rails. https://viewcomponent.org
Also, I'd go so far as to say that if you're not using a component based architecture for your web app's view layer, you're creating a ton of extra work for yourself.
