I agree. a better question is is there a CRA + tailwind (latest) setup?
hopefully also with template typescript

I Don't use CRA. yeah it offer features out of the box. But come on mate. We're not consumers right?

So, I'm using the Starter from this playlist:
youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC3y8-r...

the channel is awesome source for react & web-dev though.

Also I'm thinking of getting back to sass. Because these tailwindcss, chakra-ui, Material-ui are CSS frameworks.

I love React Coz it's a library. It's more flexible and able to modify as you wish.

The point is that I don't need declarative approach all time. It'll make me lazy.

I actually disagree. I think tailwind is a perfect tool for LEARNING how to code really professional websites. Once you have that grip - like doing things like this youtube.com/watch?v=6xgMkGMIudE you can ofcourse keep that knowledge and learn how to code the same ways without tailwind... but for learning purposes and at start i think its an awesome ui lib.

That's were you're not right. I'm not telling you're wrong. Just not right.

for example: take the ring offset in tailwind. It only works in button. I don't how about now!
But while I'm using I wrote some custom CSS to get the feature in HyperLink buttons and included in variants. without CSS foundation we need to wait till feature is included officially.

I loved tailwind for utility first design. But I think it's just not for me 🤷‍♂️
