How I learned to stop worrying and love TailwindCSS

I made the switch in recent months and can't imagine going back.

..which is surprising to me, because the idea of class-laden CSS is kinda gross on its face!

But if any of my fellow reluctant frontend developers are on the fence, do give it a try - assuming you are using some kind of component framework in your code.

This is definitely one of those technologies that in theory looks weird and awkward, but in reality is actually super useful and productive.

We've spent 10-15 years telling developers to keep style in CSS and structure in HTML. Which means the CSS/HTML mirror each other, Utility CSS breaks that paradigm and relegates CSS to a kind of Meta-customization, which you only delve into in 5-10% of the cases (e.g. to add a new custom colour or create a specific unsupported component).
