There's a clear pattern in every "Tailwind or not tailwind" conversation (which happens everytime Tailwind is mentioned).
There's those that never used it for more than 30 minutes, that just tried it out or just skimmed through the docs. Those are the people that hate it and prefer "vanilla CSS" or similar.
Then there's the people that actually used it for a real project, within a team with more than 1 single person. Those are the people that understand its value, accept its trade offs and love it.
I've seen a lot of people jump from the first group to the second group. I've seen almost none jump from the second to the first.
That's why Tailwind is so successful.
It might not be beautiful in the eye of the purist, but it's absolutely fantastic in the eye of the builder and pragmatic.
