Discussion on: What are your thoughts on Tailwind CSS?

Again, there is a section in the docs describing the optimisation process which is literally a few-minute read and easy to follow and understand. The docs also describe, how to install tailwindcss and that includes autoprefixer and postcss. The reason that tailwind doesn't enforce installation of those is, that nowadays many people have custom build-chains and tools and there is no one-size-fits-it-all approach. Still, the recommendations are to install it and the docs only really describe how to install those together. Everybody that follows the "Installation" section will install it.

Your argument still boils down to "Some people don't care about bundle size and ignore the installation instructions therefore the framework itself sucks". Have you even read the docs? It clearly points out that you should install postcss together with tailwind and also how to do so. Not following that is a failure of the user, not of the framework.
