I think you're wrong. Tailwind SS is not an excuse for being bad at CSS but in some cases it can speed up your development. When you need to be productive and keep a maintenable codebase TailwindCSS can be very useful. Make your own stylesheets can take sometimes (precedence, media queries, base styles, theming, ...) where Tailwind comes with all you need and you can start your development.

Tailwind SS is not an excuse for being bad at CSS

And I never claimed that. I didn't really pay much attention to this in my comment but of course there's legitimate use-cases for Tailwind. My point was that an overwhelming majority of its users see it as a way of putting styling information in their HTML without having to bother learning CSS (other than its properties, which is not where the complexity comes from).

Whether tailwind should be used in general is a completely different discussion (which, I think, comes down to both preferences in code organisation and preferences about different progression curves), but that's not what I was talking about in my original comment.
