He has to provide a better solution cause something is called personal criticism and one thing is called bashing and saying everyone is wrong who is using it.He is doing personal attacks and providing negative vibes. Stop defending this silly man. You dont know him and I dont know you or him neither nor he is providing a solution nor people are gonna stop using Tailwind.

He doesn't actually have to provide a better solution to anything if he wants to write a post pointing out what he feels are problems with that thing.

As for personal criticism, I can only go on what I saw on this whole thread. This involved him making some points that he felt were issues with Tailwind, and you throwing insults and profanity at him in replies. The only personal attacks I saw were from you. You're right in that I don't know him, I'm fairly impartial in this, although I do happen to agree with his criticisms of Tailwind.

As for him providing a solution (as I've said, he has no requirement to do this, it's akin to a non-driver pointing out problems with a bad motorist, or a non-artist highlighting parts of an ugly painting), he did actually mention he was working on something (and provided a link), for which you attacked him again. Those comments of yours appear to be deleted now, so I can't provide exact quotes, but I believe you did mention his proposed linked solution was a waste of time, bloated, and pointless.

Not to re-open this, but I get a smug set of satisfaction from the fact that Airfoil has already been declared "bloated" despite the fact that A) it hasn't been written yet, B) the point of Airfoil is that you only really get value from about 9 of Tailwind's 300+ classes, so why not just write those nine in a way they can be reused and integrated?

I understand putting so much of your identity into, say, a political movement that when someone makes criticisms of the political movement - no matter how valid - you feel personally attacked. But I don't understand how you can do this with a css framework.
