A CSS framework allows you to not write any CSS! You just add utility classes to your html. I personally use tailwind and I guess there's some advanced stuff where you'd have to still write CSS yourself but for most use cases it's a lot easier. Flex layouts, notably, are a breeze.
Aren't the classes pretty much a 1:1 correspondence to CSS though?
Pretty much yeah, with shortcuts for frequent sizes, colors etc (which you can theme). I guess it's mostly interesting if you use react, as you can have everything inside components and switch classes in your code. I wouldn't say it makes things categorically better but it does lighten the cognitive load somewhat and the auto complete is fire.
