Haters gonna hate every new tech that they're scared to learn. I've been using tailwind css for last 2 years. And it easily saves around 1 hour of development and debugging time. There were people who opposed scss too when it came out.

I think you're not seeing clearly where the problem is because you're focusing on the technology. It's not about which technique is the best, it's about which technique I feel most comfortable and productive with.

The post tries to push a technique ("Tailwind") and in its argument says that it is a potential replacement for CSS. Nothing could be further from the truth because Tailwind uses CSS underneath, so how to replace it?

So Tailwind is just another technique for writing CSS. If your argument is based on technology, when some alternative comes out that uses AI to write CSS, then for you that will be the new technology that everyone will hate even if for you it is the technique that makes you most productive.

But your argument fails because that is yet another technique, just like Tailwind, Less, SASS or many other names that are out there at the moment. 😉
