That is to understand CSS and match elements to a style guideline: things that must move together should move together, while exceptions should be local (unless there is another general rule).

It is a very good explanation and I encourage you to write an article on it. We need more of this to be out there and we need to convince people that reasonable CSS can be short, terse and clean.

I should clarify, it makes the production code more complex and harder to read, not the source code. Yes it spits out files with 1000's of css but I don't care about minified production code's readability or complexity. I care about the source code I maintain and manage. Like I said, I'm not some tailwind advocate but it has gained traction for a reason.
