Discussion on: Why are CSS frameworks so used?

first of all, I love your answer 😁 thanks for your super in-depth opinion. It is what I was looking for, a detailed opinion on the use or not of the frameworks.

"" Also, a question right back at you would be why not? ""

The truth is that I almost completely agree. If you need to go fast in development I love Tailwind because the utility classes allow me to maintain the readability of the code as you say and start from a ready base and display my project in short time.

When I have more time available I prefer to create my own mixins or utility classes in sass so as to keep the readability even more because I know perfectly what I wrote and it is tailored for that site.

I can understand that. I also have been thinking about my own utility classes with readability in mind using SaSS. Maybe not a component based setup but combining a couple of those utility classes of Tailwind CSS to one for my specific needs. Just haven't had the time recently.

unfortunately the time factor is always recurring in our work, but if you do, let me know how you organized it that now I'm curious 😁

Tell me about it! :D

I will definitely write about it if I do it. I am currently trying to move towards Neovim and Nix package manager for dev stuff. And it is definitely taking priority whenever I get free time! :D
