These classless libraries are for quick/MVP style web apps where you just need to give the user one or two forms and some help documentation.

I use them all the time for internal stuff because it lets me write some dirty html and have the backend do the real work while not looking browser-default-hideous.

If you need something more complicated, these are probably not meant for you.

Yep. I love the idea behind those libraries but I can't think of any production environment where I would use them without crippling any future change. You'd be forced to silo every custom component from the main stylesheet.

Yeah I don't think this is meant to be used for a production environment. I wrotten this mostly to style my hobby projects effortlessly

Anyway more "professional contexts" probably have their own branding too, so the added value is probably negligeable in this case
