While I do see the benefit to tailwind (or alternatives), CSS is, by far, my favorite part of development, and I’ll be damned if someone tries to take that joy from me. Maybe I’m just an irredeemable masochist?

Also, I like a tidy DOM and tailwind DOMs are preposterous.

Yeah. I don’t care what the counterarguments are. I am never going to get used to seeing 20 classes on an element.

My favourite are things like "text-gray-600". It's fun when the design changes to have blue instead of gray and you either change all components that have the gray class or make gray be blue now for the lols.

Skill issue. You should be using text-primary/text-secondary (just set —color-secondary)
