"Build times reduced", "no more @tailwind directives", "No more js configuration", "Designed for the modern web".

To me, this screams "CSS now can do everything we used to do ourselves, but let's keep pretending that we are still needed somehow"

Really!? Is that really what you got out of it?

I understand you're not a fan of Tailwind, so perhaps say what you dont like about Tailwind instead of creating a strawman and attacking it.

Also, shame on you for poo-pooing on someone else's open source project and people find useful.

What did you need Tailwind for before that you couldn't do in normal CSS? Doesn't Tailwind map pretty much 1:1 to CSS?

"Basically just inline CSS, but less fiddly and much more optimizable than the style attribute" was always the selling point of Tailwind in the first place.

If you going to hate on it, at least try understand what it is and why people use it.

Yeah, I tried (not so hard) to like and use tailwind, but I've been using bootstrap for so long, and for my very simple needs, bootstrap was a better choice. But I wouldn't go around saying, "tailwind is unnecessary for everyone."

It's not "hate". It's just that I don't see the value that it brings today.

Whether you enjoy utility classes isn't really related at all to what css supports.
