  A CSS framework that moves writing CSS into the html to make it stupidly long with annoyingly confusing class names.

  I might be biased though. I hate it.

    I agree. I looked at tailwind and couldn’t believe it was so popular. It defeats the entire purpose of CSS, and returns web dev back to the early 90s. Just stupid.

      What’s the entire purpose of CSS according to you?

        The chief valid complaint against Tailwind is that it effectively removes the cascading part of CSS in favor of what amounts to inline styles.

    Tailwind is what you get when you ask “What if we UNinvented CSS 🤔”

  It’s effectively an alternative to plain CSS. Works well with component-based systems like React and Svelte.

  I used it for a few years and thought it was pretty good. I still use it on some of my projects.

  If I recall correctly, it is a CSS framework.
