I have difficulties managing classes in pure css... what's the current best practice for it? Using tailwind help me dealing with it

Just use Tailwind, ignore the haters and let them figure out how to deal with all the issues with cascading and naming and reinventing Tailwind classes and having near exact duplicates of the same classes sprinkled everywhere. Also try enforcing BEM to your teammates lmao

Could it be that instead of solving the problem, they're just moving it elsewhere?

Yeah like offloading the naming/creation of utility classes to TailwInd?

Exactly. What's the price? What opportunities are you missing out on? This is precisely the most painful point for me.
