I'm starting to feel like I'm seeing this take in every thread lately.

I wish you could develop your point a bit more.

Names having connotations is one thing, their connotation coming either from the sexy field or a character in a giant commercial franchise is I think pretty rare.

It makes me wonder if there isn't some random system level library named "Pooh", getting it into a China target project could be an honorable feat.

And? Git is "idiot" in British parlance. I don't think software should be made to appease some false idea of corporate politeness.

To note, I'm not judging if it's a good name or not, I'm saying it starts with a handicap. I didn't put it in that order, but more than politeness[0] I'd assume using a popular character might not be the best for searchability, or being taken more seriously than a fan project.

GIMP's name definitely hurted it before there was enough acceptance of it. Ultimately I think most names will work out if the project gets past a critical mass.

[0] I assume you put the sexy aspect into "politeness" ?

If you're talking about Tailwind, this is nothing like that. This is a set of pre-built components, not unlike Bootstrap. You just use the components they offer, instead of having to manually code up a drop-down from scratch for each new website you create.

Everheard of copy/paste? Not unlike the way you copy/paste these css classes from the last project to the next. Guess what? Taiwind has components too, but the built-in of course is never the exact thing people want, so they had to add utility classes. And when it doesn't cut, you go back to css anyway. A pointless effort only to add another thing you have to manage just for styling.

Personally I can never get line-space or line-height vs height/min-height/padding/font-size or whatever. That’s why I’m using e.g. bootstrap. If I just write css, my inputs receive 1px vertical scroll on some devices, but not all.

Make css model internally consistent, i.e. allocate inputs inside-out and not vice versa, plus another thousand microissues, then we’ll talk about raw css with only colorscheme imports. Until that, writing ad hoc half-framework is a waste of time.

How is this a good thing? You now need the extra JS from that component to encapsulate the HTML with TW classes. Plus all the overhead from TW itself. You need a ton of classes to essentially replicate inline styles. Plus all the CPU needed to parse and execute all that extra JS and CSS code. I get that some people prefer this workflow and that's fine, everyone has preferences. But arguing this is better than sending…

Designers use Storybook to keep track of the components. > But arguing this is better than sending an HTML tag with a couple of classes is absurd. If you compile/SSR your React, the end user will get an HTML tag with classes.

Isn’t that just semantic HTML with extra steps?

I used Bulma for a while. It was great until I needed to extend a style, then it was a pain. I now use Tailwind, which I swore off for a long while, because it makes for verbose html. But I am having a much better time overall now.

Probably gonna get some hate here. Really, another CSS framework? People, can we make our minds and stay on one and perfect it instead keep chasing the next 'better' alternatives?

Upstarts! These days people only start sharing new fangled CSS frameworks 9 years in advance.

Many many years ago, when lots of my classmates chose Bootstrap, I went the other way and wanted to try out something else, so I picked Bulma.

This framework works well and was pretty fun to use, until I wanted to style it my way, then it became my enemy.

But I saw there was a way to extend the styling to allow customization https://bulma.io/documentation/sass/extends so that issue is probably solved.

Do they sponsor just for the SEO (getting your website mentioned on a frequently-visited website) or is there more to it?

Usually it’s because the company uses the software in question and wants to ensure it sticks around. In this instance it feels a little weird. No good reason why a CSS framework would be particularly suited for gambling site operations, you may be right that it’s an SEO play.

the answer is performance

css is the most performant way to create interactive experiences

if gaming (gambling in this genre) sponsored react, their customers would use a more performant poker app. react can barely handle being reddit.
