Gatsby

• quickstart setup with their basic starter theme is as easy as they say
• not too much boilerplate, nice commenting for api files

Emotion

• testing CSS-in-JS based on the Frontend Masters tutorials I've seen using it
• pros: co-located code, easy to delete a component and the styles related to it (less likely to accrue styling code debt), easy to base styles off user interactions without a lot of className manipulation
• cons: counter-intuitive to combine css and js when you learned separation of concerns as gospel, not sure what this means for the "cascading" part of css
