I'm feeling very represented by this article. I tried giving Tailwind a spin, create a simple website just for a practice. Few days in and I felt this is not for me. I get why people like it, but the fact that I have to constantly refer to the docs to remember the class name, felt counter productive, since I know the exact CSS property to do so. After completing it, I realize I have to fix several issues here and there, and guess what, the exact class name outlined in docs doesn't get recognized. I'm not sure what the problem is, but re-building Tailwind fixes the problem.
But I get why people like it, writing a more concise inline CSS might suit some people. And I agree with the author. Not liking this tool doesn't mean that everyone should hate it. More choice, more power to the people :)
