It's amazing for quick UI building.
Note however that this API is brought by Styled System [1], which Chakra uses (and exposes), and adds the component library and other niceties on top.
My only regret with Chakra is that it's a tad runtime-heavy, and it's not really adapted to static content. I'd love to see some sort of compiler that digests a React tree into rendered HTML + CSS, with minimal JS just for style interactions (is this what Svelte does?)
