I'm wondering what the problem is with just good ol sass/scss, I'm sure there's some handler too that can convert your sass variables into browser variables or just write your variable as a modern variable.

I agree with another person's comment about how they are often going back to the documentation on these. I've been feeling the same with bootstrap lately, often it has great responsive helpers but then you run across the few things that don't, or it covers like 90% of flexbox cases and then falls short. I know you can modify their helpers but then like you said you bloat the system when you add something like a new size or color which then has to get pushed out to every helper for every permutation, and I doubt many people are thinking about that when all they are doing is wasting their time digging through documentation and stack overflow trying to solve their otherwise trivial problem, but I feel that many people fall into the trap and time sink of trying to be a purist that wants to do it all using their thick shiny tool.

I'll have to check out your lib next tone o get a chance.
