Discussion on: Why Tailwind CSS

i took a quick look. i'd say you're being too superficial if you shoehorn tailwind into "U". the ultimate philosophy tailwind espouses is way more extreme - devolve all components into their most atomic elements and never bother with creating any classes or exceptions or composition selectors. this suits a much more fluid development style. i agree there is still a proper place for the cascade but it is likely <5% of the styles you write rather than 50% (for illustrative purposes just talkign about order of magnitude)

Thanks, I appreciate your thoughts on it. I don't have enough experience writing CSS to give the kind of evaluation that you just did, so that's very helpful.
