Tailwind is the new jQuery. Overused, misunderstood, and masking deeper CSS issues. Change my mind.

On the contrary, jQuery was useful at one time, and didn't promote mangling style and semantics.

Agreed. jQuery use declined because its best ideas were incorporated into the core JavaScript language. In that respect, the jQuery's analogue in the CSS space is SASS. In contrast, Tailwind has added nothing to CSS.

That's true. But today it became the same as Tailwind.
