Then you have not understood why tailwind was made. No offence it is your right to think like that and I have thought the same. But using tailwind now daily is just the creme on the cake. It’s easy and awesome :)

No, I get why Tailwind was made, and how it's generally used. It's just that I think those uses are detrimental to the web.

A few days ago I found this interesting post about tailwindcss.
javascript.plainenglish.io/tailwin...
I must say that the only way I found tailwind usable is via creating group classes via @apply
I came to tailwinds a couple of years ago searching for a lighter solution because I was tired of bootstrap and its heavy css file.
I tried bulma, foundation ui toolkit and MUI too but none of them convinced me

This is a good article and fits my point of view quite nicely.

My personal position is using tailwindcss to solve fast mockups or little projects as landing pages, because it is really light in final css file.
But when it comes to large and long term projects I do prefer to create my own stylesheet using css variables and necessary classes with sass. I found that more sustainable.
In any case, I think that each developer ends up using the tool that best suits their modality.
