Thanks! Great reason this beats MUI.

Not trying to hate on atomic CSS, we've had composable classes and style tokens for a long time, they work well. Even one of the devs on this project commented on them here:

The docs here mention the downsides though.

Not at all, mui gives you the option to do either.

I don't want my style library being opinionated about my coding style.

Ohh I see, I honestly didn't click the first time. You meant sx in MUI, not StyleX. We're gonna need more names.
