It's a really nice way to have nicely typed components that fit into nice simple, readable JSX. Especially if you like to build design system style elements that have variations driven by props. It also lets you easily write extendable base level components, restyle these and respect types etc all without having to setup any FC<> components as wrappers (visibly). The way it handles computed styles is great too. In short, it makes easy: Extendable base styles / components Themes Dark mode Calculated styles based on props Cleaner JSX These things are all possible without styled-components but I think the workflow overall fits very well. If you've found yourself many times building style arrays full of ternary operators, creating mess in your JSX then you may find this workflow styled-components helps you a lot.

Popularity of styled-components/native
I used styled-components in all my React Native projects for a long time, and really like that clean way to declare components. Recently though, I’ve shifted to just using plain RN primitives with StyleSheet because it’s simple enough and works well. I also ran into performance issues with styled-components at scale, but I mean very large applications with very big view trees. More on reddit.com

December 1, 2021 -

Hi, This is a question out of curiosity. I see that styled components get a lot of attention and I am curious about your opinion about it. Why wouldn't you just use stylesheet objects to style your components? Is it a performance thing? Is it because its easier to read?

December 17, 2019 - An app has to look nice as well! And it’s not a pleasant task for all JavaScript/FrontEnd devs; especially when someone has just started with web development. This is where styled components come and save the day, by making styling simpler specifically for React Native apps in my opinion.
