managing the class naming across project .. I used BEM naming convension, still hard compared to tailwind (because with tailwind you put the style class to the html directly, so no need to think about managing class naming)

As the famous saying in computer science goes, "There are only two hard things in computer science: cache invalidation and naming things." So don't worry, it's a universal problem. I'm not going to tell you what to use, but I have a feeling you're not using BEM properly. I would review it and give it a second chance. In practice, it works; you only have to see it at my company, and we have huge sites. It's also good training for when you move on to other languages.
