Alternative Approaches

BEM is not the only path. There are other modern approaches:

1. CSS Modules

Allows writing regular CSS, but guarantees classes won't overlap (browser will add a unique hash to them).

2. Tailwind CSS (Utility-first)

You don't write CSS at all, but use ready small classes directly in HTML (class="p-4 bg-blue-500 rounded-lg"). This is incredibly fast for prototyping.

3. Styled Components (React)

Write styles directly inside JavaScript files.

Summary: Each team chooses their path, but knowing architecture basics will help you quickly master any of these tools.
