Very bad take, if you don't like tailwind, thats understandable, but shoving that opinion down everyone's throat?

More accessible website

How does tailwind hurt accessibility?

better SEO

Huh? It's a CSS framework how will it hurt SEO performance? I don't think you know how Tailwind works. Tailwind creates a stylesheet at build time based on the classes you used. Therefore these is very less unused CSS, hence performance is very good. This will only boost SEO no?

performance improvements thanks to smaller HTML/CSS size and caching

What? Tailwind will almost always create a smaller CSS file in a large scale project.

Tailwind may be great for hobby or POC projects. But for enterprise projects that tend to scale vanilla
HTML/CSS is the way to go.

So you're saying Deno Deploy, PlanetScale, Ping.gg and hundreds more are hobby projects?

Never seen a worse and more incorrect take on Tailwind lmao.

Can't agree more. We live in the era of blind people being guided by the blind people and unfortunately all those people have access to internet and time to write articles.
