#13Tailwind is really awesome. I switched from bootstrap in some projects and it’s been great. You gain a lot of flexibility in your designs
I recommend this post by Adam to anyone who is interested in learning more about utility first CSS.

#14Style your site with "only" 291KiB of CSS (24KiB compressed)?
I'm not a big fan of the bloat here too but with some scripting wizardry you can probably delete all the unused classes.

Please read this... > By comparison Tailwind seems really heavy (over 1.5x larger than Bootstrap!), but it turns out that this comparison isn't totally fair. https://tailwindcss.com/docs/controlling-file-size/#app
But couldn't you also do the same to Bootstrap with PurgeCSS and still come out ahead of Tailwind?

#16It puzzles me why these Atomic CSS based systems use various mnemonic systems instead of plain English which is much more understandable. I'm not a fan of human-powered text compression.
At that point, why not just write actual CSS?

#17I have trouble with the following statement. Complete flexibility is a bad thing? If I accept that how is limiting options to 30 not providing too much flexibility?
"Limits & standards. With normal CSS, I can make any element any width I want. For me, this is not a good thing! With tailwind, there are only 30ish options for width"

but then if you add more classes into your html then you need to add them back in css which is against the point.

#20I don't understand how this works.
Say you want a div to be a specific width: 135px, how do you make it without writing any CSS? Or you want a specific shade of a colour? Or you want to style things that are not in your html (third party widgets).
