WHY TAILWIND ISN’T FOR ME
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
Tailwind CSS is widely popular in web development today, but there are some notable downsides to it. It leads to ugly-looking HTML. The use of @apply in Tailwind is incompatible with other CSS frameworks, leading to vendor lock-in. Tailwind also encourages the use of `div` and `span` tags, whereas the modern web supports a much larger range of expressive custom elements and attributes.
