>If it's just one class per property, you could just type out the CSS.

You can, but then it rarely happens that you want the CSS to be fixed in that way for all time: the brilliance of tailwind is that you get resposniveness just by adding a few more classes. You cannot do that with inline CSS.



This is the one pro-tailwind argument I can agree with. Sometimes I’ll use their shorthand md: & sm: in @apply in place of media queries. The advantage is that they remain local to their relevant selectors.

Makes me think- all I would really want is to be able to have multiple values in css. Maybe something like .

.card { width: 5rem md: 10rem; }

Snap… am I on to something?


Sass/Scss let you nest media queries inside of selectors years ago.
