Can we stop with this kind of trash opinion? Do you genuinely believe people use Tailwind because they don’t know any better? I understand why many people have a visceral reaction against Tailwind when learning about it for the first time, but when you actually use it, you really can understand why some of the "anti-pattern" stuff you learned about CSS doesn’t really apply with Tailwind.

Thats why I maintain the successor to tachyons: https://tachyonsneo.com No build pipeline. Resort to CSS when utilites make no sense. No lock in.

Can you clarify how this relates to Tachyons - do all Tachyons features work? Or is it a subset of Tachyons?

It's just a rebuilt drop-in replacement stylesheet compatible to the built version of tachhyons 4.12 but using css variables (so when you need to write custom css you can use its tokens) and it has support for grid plus a few more modern utilities.

Building an application you use this as your utility layer that gets you 80% and for the rest you use an application specific custom css to write the parts where css is the best.

I used the same structure 20+ years ago in the heyday of the web, when I was starting as a dev. If you use tailwind, that's a sure sign you don't understand css. That's all. It's a signal of your incompetence. And at the same time it shows that the dev ecosystem has serious usability issues.

The purpose of web is to display various things and let the user interact with them.

Nobody cares about true REST (modern day RESTful is a different thing), HATEOAS or semantic web. People tends to simplify things.

We probably can live with just 7 html tags,<title>, <style>, <div>, <form>, <input>, <button>, <a> and CSS.
