Sometimes I wonder, when did HN went so wrong and is full of comments that do not further the discussion but purely result into flamewar and ridiculous homilies.

It is easier to find how to do things using tailwind documentation than with native CSS documentation. As someone who is not very good at CSS it makes my life easier.

One reason is that you can’t do media queries in a style attribute.

Utility classes still encapsulate some complexity and responsive styling. They also generate colors from the global palette. Finally, they’re less verbose without losing much meaningful information.

Tailwind does a better job at enforcing a set of standards in the codebase. Specifically around things like spacing, text sizing etc.
This doesn't preclude enforcing it directly in the CSS files, but it does make it a lot easier.

I've only been here since 2015 so I'm not bringing much more than an early middle-aged viewpoint, in HN years. But I noticed a big uptick of this starting to happen when cryptocurrency people began proselytizing aggressively around 2016, 2017, so much so that I actually made an account to push back on it in some small way (my handle was originally blockchainoffools, but the hn handle limits knocked my block off) having been only a lurker for a couple years prior. Then it seem like the S/N regained some of its old strength for a bit. However the noise (and the halo of meta-noise such as this very comment) surged again to a degree that dwarfs the intensity of the crypto invasion, when first twitter and then reddit announced the end of free 3rd party API access.
