`<button class=“steve”>` will render like every other steve button, subject to context, cascading down the rules, and applied globally.

You don’t need anything for this but CSS and HTML.

The thing with Tailwind, however, is it reduces your options by picking a certain set of values, where with CSS you can choose whichever, so it becomes easier to have something that is more symmetric and looks better using Tailwind rather than CSS for this reason.

This can also be solved by having good design sense, and doesn’t necessitate a builder library. Having your own style also breaks websites out from all looking the same.
