No one is trying to kill Tamagui. Why would we want that?
> the higher ups there are investors in Tailwind
I don’t know any investors in Tailwind at Vercel. I’m certainly not one. I don’t think they’ve even taken outside investment. And it’d be against our ethical and fiduciary responsibilities to favor one solution over another on that basis.
> are trying to consolidate styling around it for their own ecosystem benefit
Tailwind is a great solution that’s earned the hearts and minds of the community, and that’s why we include it as an option in `create-next-app`.
It’s an option because you can bring your own styling solutions to Next if you’d like (like yours: https://tamagui.dev/docs/guides/next-js)
Maybe your perception is backwards? Large parts of the ecosystem are consolidating on Tailwind, and it’s our job to provide sensible defaults according to that.
