I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
It's an old way of writing everything! Nothing in Tailwind is new, and nothing was even new at the point when Tailwind came out.
Imagine no longer having to create separate files for component markups and its styles
But the content and the appearance are two separate things! Let's say you want a different makeover during certain times of year for holidays and so on. Or you want to give people a "reader mode", or you support people who want to print the page out.
Imagine no longer having to think of names for “Wrapper” or “WrapperOfWrapperOfWrapper
You're replacing your own homebrew "div soup" with someone else's. You don't need all those wrappers, in the same way you don't need all those million-and-one classes. 99% of websites could look exactly the same if every div was removed.
Hello. I tried tailwind in the past but gave up because, as like @moopet
pointed out, you need sometimes a makeover. And instead of replacing all css classes, you replace the css file. Done.

I agree with your point. Tailwind is for sure far from perfection. But I feel it's giving a lot of benefits at my daily coding work. It's fun and easy to master. Obviously this is just my humble opinion and impression.
