This is actually funny. I thought I would read "don't use bootstrap, write your own CSS" but I end with worst that "don't use boostrap" --> "use tailwind"

Tailwind offers thousands of built-in classes that do not require you to create designs from scratch

It seems you didn't use Tailwind because you have to create design from scratch since Tailwind only offer a "one property per class". It's basically a listing of the CSS values inside classes. There is no ready design, components in Tailwind if you don't build them

Exactly! This makes TailwindCSS awesome! TailwindCSS doesn't force any designs, which makes it flexible.

And yes, there are TailwindCSS componens (official) here: headlessui.dev

CSS alone doesn't force any designs and is also flexible. Well, this is what CSS is made for. Tailwind is not inventing this and those component are build by people using tailwind. I can do the same with vanilla CSS. Well, it's already done and it's called templates.

Sorry but what you describe was already invented years ago before Tailwind.
