This is everything on how the modern web is a complete disaster. We need react and a 30+ line “component” to represent what used to be a single html tag.
Please wake me when this nonsense is over.

Also, the flexibility described will not fit in a single tag - what tag exactly did you mean?
I personally prefer gap-style solutions like a Stack component or something like Tailwind's `space` classes (both using an owl-selector to set margins on children).
Either way, margin is tricky in a components-based world because it often breaks the encapsulation. I see this as just an exploration of an option to solve that, do we really need to be this dismissive of exploration?
“Modern web app development sucks” is a really tired trope.
Is this really true? Most apps and websites are broken in one way or another, terribly slow on older devices or connections and sometimes break for unknown reasons.
They look better, yes, but are they really that much better in a complexity to function ratio?
Only if you ask the developers themselves. They sure feel that way. Ask their bosses, or hell, ask users what they feel about the modern web, and the answer may start to differ.
But this is for us using the net before 2000.
