Tailwind has the Bootstrap problem, in that I can tell straight away that a website uses Tailwind, and for some reason that is off putting.

Preface:

I accidentally mixed up Tailwind and DaisyUI in my brain. The commenter above me is talking about Tailwind and my "Previous Comment" is responding by talking about DaisyUI but accidentally also using the word Tailwind.

For previous versions of DaisyUI my main complaint was that it looked childish. V5 fixed this. I misread the parent comment as if they were talking about this same issue. My bad.

Previous comment:

I'm not sure when you most recently used Tailwind, but V5 is a big improvement on V4. 4 definitely looked somewhat childish. 5 corrected most/all of this.

How does the version of Tailwind itself make difference? The look depends on what styles are applied using Tailwind, not the ability to specify styles. Think the problem is the most tailwind sites have a similar set of styles applied, most likely copies of the docs or examples. TailwindUI is a paid system, but yeah, could be a case of most of the defaults copying that.

I'm sorry. Brain fart. Replace Tailwind V4/V5 with DaisyUI V4/V5.

After re-reading double brain fart.

I misread the comment as complaining about DaisyUI. I then responded as if they were complaining about DaisyUI but ALSO accidentally used "Tailwind" in my comment.

This is a rebuild of the antithesis of Tailwind on Tailwind. Bootstrap had this for decades (Daisy even copies the same semantic class names in some cases). Tailwind was supposed to break away from this, to specific actual styles directly, but looks like we're coming back full circle again. Why not just use Bootstrap?
