Play with TailwindCSS in the Browser

As someone who's been doing CSS for 20 years now, I think Tailwind is an absolute blessing. They've gone a bit crazy with the latest features, but the core of it is so productive to use, especially in teams. Big fan here.

That’s making a whole bunch of assumptions about professional web devs, including the people who maintain Tailwind and similar libraries.

Also accessibility and HTML classes are completely orthogonal concerns.

I agree that tailwind may not be the most elegant way to style a webpage, and I also prefer classes and regular css or sass, but I don't think you will convince anyone to give up tailwind with such a toxic comment. Perhaps it would just be better if you stopped ruining hn for the rest of us. Additionally, styling and accessibility are not related (unless your layout is terrible, but that is just as doable with css).

"People who know these things think tailwind is a travesty"

Sounds like people don't like changes to things that they are used to.

Overall Tailwind really does make styling cleaner.

Am I only one that feeling like code readability is a bit gross?

No, there are in fact many people who do not read the docs.
