because the cascade part of CSS is error prone and because naming stuff is hard. Functional lib like tailwind or tachyons solve both those problem as far as I am concerned.

> because naming stuff is hard

This feels like a weak argument. Yes, naming things are hard - but we name classes, variables, dom elements & everything else every day. There are also really good naming patterns for CSS out there too (BEM, etc.).

Because, if we're talking about css-in-js, then they'd need an external dependency anyway to handle hover/etc.. states. TailwindCSS lets you inline that.

You also don't need CSS-in-JS.

So you need either to keep styles inline, which has a lot of drawbacks, or figure out a name for every single thing.

Tailwind is essentially inline styling done right + a set of constraints to keep your design consistent even if you are not a designer. Pretty sweet setup if you ask me.

It moved stuff from style="..." to class="..." - what a break thru
