I know we're just going to have to agree to disagree, but I find utility class based projects easier to maintain. Coming back to -- or inheriting -- css soup is never fun.
> I think people compare the best possible CSS with Tailwind rather than comparing what actually gets done with actual Tailwind.
Yep. The one Tailwind guy on the team will set everything up perfectly, and then no one else will ever have any desire to ever learn Tailwind, and it descends into a complete mess.
You can say "just learn Tailwind!", and see how far that gets you with a group of backend devs who've inherited some UI and just need to add a button.
