How have you found tailwind? I know some bootstrap as we use it at work quite a bit. I had a quick go with it this afternoon but I'm generally not keen on adding all that markdown to my HTML.

Grids took a little bit of getting used to for me, but I like it alot. Previously I have always used Bootstrap.

The messier html syntax is a thing but in reality if you identify common components you can use @apply to collate groups of utilities into a single class.

It's a trade off between more classes in the html and less CSS to write. I find it quite easy to read. The classes are very descriptive so it does give you a good rundown of what you should be seeing.

The abillity to setup custom config to match a style guide/design system would really help keep a site's UI consistent.
