> Choosing to represent that complexity with Tailwind guarantees what could have be a temporary ignorance into a more permanent crutch that retains the same faults of the underlying abstraction, tragically opting out of any of the benefits of embracing the system.
I think you maybe don't understand what Tailwind actually does. The only abstraction is its "language" that is used to generate the list of class names you can then use to style elements, but that's not really an abstraction, because in the end it's not that different from using something like BEM and then having to remember project-specific classes. But with Tailwind, it's not specific to a single project.
And you always have to understand CSS and how it works anyway.
