I'm not going to convince you, that is useless. You have your own opinion I won't be able to change it. That said, we build web builder platform and we want to standardize the code and the overall look across the elements. Our clients do not have need for super customized, bespoke websites. Using tailwind allows us to do that quick. Another advantage is parsing the html, importing and exporting from html to style object becomes super simple as well. This is not true for the pro coders of course, but for average users the use of tailwind and purgecss do produce overall smaller file size without breaking things. So that's our use case and we are happy with that.

Edit: I should add that I agree with you completely regarding debugging. I even raised a ticket on making tailwind easier for dev testing and their response was that it's their job to do the testing already, there is no need to test on our end anymore. I was like ... Seriously dude?

Yes, I see your point. You just have to push technologies sometimes and you have to convince other dev into an organization. Thanks for your comment :)
