Why Tailwind Isn't for Me

One reason Tailwind is so accessible to me is because it's ugly!

I want it to be ugly. I want it to tell me exactly all the styles being applied to this component. This is in contrast to the 2015-2020 era where libraries like react-material-ui made it extremely difficult to change/read the default styles because they all use different internal styling tech.

Are able you cmd/ctrl-click the classname and go to the definition? It should work in most modern ide's (vstudio, eclipse, idea, vscode).

The browser can also give you this information.

I want to see it in the editor when I'm making changes or creating CSS.
