I don't understand tailwind. The entire point of CSS is to separate style from structure. How does applying composable utility classes to all of your HTML elements differ from the old days of using HTML attributes for styling?
Edit: So after looking into it a bit more, and specifically the section in the documentation about extracting components, I understand where they're coming from a bit better. Extracting repeated compositions of utility classes into reusable components or named classes is exactly how I use other CSS frameworks such as bootstrap or foundation. I'm seeing the major difference between tailwind and other CSS frameworks as being the lack of pre-defined UI components. The minimalism is obviously a big advantage for performance, but otherwise I still see little difference between Tailwind and other CSS frameworks.
