For what it's worth - I saw the value of Tailwind UI as its connection to the Refactoring UI product from Adam Wathan (tailwind) + Steve Schoger - https://refactoringui.com/ The tips, screencasts, and eventual book they offered gives a superb, distilled, crash course on making stuff "look good" when to the untrained eye it can all seem arbitrary. They take a lot of guess work out of adding polish to your product.
Taking a look at Tailwind UI, it's clear they have baked in all of the tips and tricks into the components offered, adhering to preached principles like good visual hierarchy, layout and spacing, color theory, and typography. Therefore, while TailwindUI may seem like just a bunch of utility classes, the components they have constructed tap into a lot of solid design principles that a large community has bought into and studied. I'll for sure be buying and trying it out in future projects of mine.
