Hi Kent!

thanks for the AMA :) I think the real benefit about having CSS-in-JS is to give developers (not designers) more control about how the UI is displayed, and does not focus primarily on performance... do you agree? (not trying to be negative here... just asking!)

hope you did not cover this topic before :P

Hi Horacio! Thanks for the question. I love CSS-in-JS. I think it's made me more productive and create more maintainable components.

To say the focus is not on performance is inaccurate. It may not be as fast as regular CSS, but it has many other benefits while still being fast enough. I suggest you read this blog post by my friend Mark: "A Unified Styling Language".

Good luck!

P.S. I'll also add my talk on the subject which I think justifies some things as well.
