We as Toolabs has just released beta of our DS-101 Component Design Studio which I think might be a solution for making stateful components.
Here is a quick video for making a simple stateful button component :

I will be happy if you have a look and share your comments on the solution.

Thank you for all the comments. Most of them reflect the dilemma challenging me.
On one end, I question how free is an artist when drawing a horse, given that somehow the form of the horse exists in her/his mind. Do we treat that "horse form" a limiting factor of creativity? ( I think it is available even for the swallowing elephant drawing of The Little Prince, "Don't let others dictate your talents", but the form of elephant still exists) :

Extending from this example in art to digital product design (UI/UX), as it is in case of CAD tools, enforcing the "button" to be "button" whatever visual style it has... This is the point where I get confused.
May be a checkbox example is more suitable to this case. Whether it has a check box or switch form, or a toggle button, requiring that element to have two states (true/false, yes/no) is still related to limiting creativity?
