Thank you for the constructive feedback Ivan!

I also tend to separate component styling in separate file and just import it in the file where it is used.
This is something that I attempted to do at first, but ended up sort-of ignoring(probably because of laziness, which is something I believe one should never do since it all returns as technical debt).

I had chance to see components with styles defined in the same file and it looked like unreadable mess in cases where there were too many components with big list of declarations.
I completely agree with this. I had begun to feel this while coding, but I think I ignored it for some reason.

Also big plus for me is altering component styling on the fly depending on passed properties, no more toggling classes or using cx and defining cases!
Also something I completely agree with. I began using this 12 hours ago before I went to bed :)

I wish I could give more likes. I vastly appreciate your feedback.
