This comes from the "real world". React ecosystem deliberately loathe CSS. Just give me one professionally designed website where CSS is used as intended, using modern features like @layers, calc(), and --variables. I'm super curious! Hoping I'm wrong :)

Tailwind is probably the most popular css system used in react and it’s just css and classes.

I'm struggling to understand what you're getting at tbh – I definitely see the disdain against vanilla CSS in a lot of React users / projects, and I'm with you in being critical of that, I quite enjoy writing plain modern CSS and haven't had any real interest in Tailwind and tools like it.

The point is that React doesn't impose any of that and even suggests the "classic" CSS approach in the official docs, so I don't think you can use it as point of criticism of React, the framework, which you seem to be doing since you are drawing a comparison between React and your own framework.

The "ecosystem", which certainly does it's own thing, doesn't have anything to do with that, especially since I'm guessing Nue does not have an "ecosystem" at this point (that's not an insult!) so the comparison seems a bit pointless?

  • I see your point. But can you give me a link to one React project with professional design, implemented with extenal CSS?
