That’s totally fair! I won’t deny tailwind helps speed up prototyping etc, and it’s not so much “I don’t like because X”, it’s that after using it in my new team where we do use it extensively, there are a bunch of issues that a lot of people might not realise until they’re at scale. Like it’s not that tailwind is some horrible stupid framework, I spend the first chunk of the article praising its ideas. It just has limitations to be aware of, which I think have better solutions in CSS. But if it works for you then awesome, it’s a solid library.
And for everything that is coming for my throat saying I didn’t present a balanced argument, I mean, the article was already huge, and look at the hype around tailwind presenting it as the panacea for our problems and a new way to style things. Tailwinds own rhetoric certainly doesn’t mention any limitations 🤷🏻♀️
