Why

Scoped CSS is neat and keeps your JS clean. PostCSS is amazing for extended features, such as nesting. CSS Modules keep your class names “local”.

Known issues

Composed CSS files are not watched by next.js, and thus, if you change one, nothing will happen. You'll need to edit a JS file or the CSS file you're composing for it to hot reload.
