That's all well and good until you have to maintain it at scale. I'd rather take regular CSS.



I guess you missed the part where I said I have used it successfully on several large codebases?


So have I. So now who's anecdotal evidence wins? It really is what it comes down to, isn't it?


I'm not the one arguing that a particular technique doesn't scale or that its advocates don't know what they're doing.

Of course you can build big things with semantic CSS. You also can with Tailwind.


I'm sure they can in Tailwind, but it hasn't been my experience, and that's what I meant by my rhetorical question, anecdotal evidence doesn't really matter.


This isn't about winning dude.

Some people like Tailwind and find it incredibly helpful.

Some people don't.

Some people actively despise Tailwind.

No one has to 'win'. All these opinions can coexist.


That was the point of my rhetorical question. When comparing anecdotes, no one "wins" because both are unprovable.
