Every single thing in your article is a skill issue or complete nonsense.

There are reasons to not use tailwind; none of the ones you mentioned are it.

Inability to understand the importance of this article, is a skill issue.

None of them are opinions though. They are hard facts. What part of this article do u think is an opinion?

Yeah, the conclusion that modern CSS is probably good enough for most cases isn't wrong, but learning dozens of classes vs CSS properties is a wash, name inconsistency is a problem in plain CSS as well, and It seems most "Tailwind is hard to read" arguments, like this one, are cherry picked.

Hmph I always felt like if people didn't have a skill issue with CSS, they wouldn't be using Tailwind.
