Rebass vs just using Styled System?

See original GitHub issue

As of 3.0.0 (now that rebass is stripped right back), it seems to basically be just a thin layer over styled system that needs extending out by the end user.

So with all the extending required, why would someone use Rebass, instead of just using styled system? What is the rationale/intentions/benefits?

And where does https://github.com/jxnblk/superbox fit in with everything, as all the Rebass primitives are extensions of <Box /> anyway?

@kristojorg You can create other components by extending the base Box component or creating your own from scratch – it really depends on preferences

Totally fair - I agree with that 100%. Just simply found it interesting… I’m so used to seeing UI frameworks with inputs! However, I also find that the vast majority of CSS overrides I write for any UI framework, are “undoing” CSS for inputs. A bit ironic.

Would that be worth mentioning as a deliberate decision in the documentation?
