I'm not a fan. It feels more geared towards devs who hate writing or don't fully understand CSS because it essentially just moves your CSS into the HTML with some slight abstraction. Seeing 15+ utility classes on a single element hurts my soul.
Designer, compulsive organiser and self-taught tinkerer. I’m fascinated and horrified by the speed at which everything changes. Aw c’mon, I only just learnt this!
Well said. The sheer popularity of atomic/utility CSS makes me question myself, but only a little. The old emperor (presentational markup) is back with some new clothes, but his unsightly parts are still on full display. It may well be that those who heed the 'just try it' cry do find that it makes them happy, but it's a biased sample because the devs who try it are the ones who don't cry when they see 15+ utility classes on a single element!
