I'm finding it's better to use "javascript-less" UI frameworks [Pico.CSS, Skeleton, Bulma, Tailwind/daisyUI]. You get most of the benefits using good use of CSS. Anyone used these JS-free solutions and have recommendations?

My current choice is DaisyUI. It’s pretty good and because it’s based on tailwind you get the rest of the ecosystem benefits. Super easy to extend and change. Class bloat is much more manageable than raw tailwind.
