Some real issues with Tailwind I don't see mentioned as often is they should revolve around the lack of some modern and efficient CSS features and techniques and the inefficient, outdated habits it tends to promote as a result.

Over-reliance on media queries and the absence of the clamp() function are just two obvious examples among many others.

Performance and browser devtool usability also suffer under Tailwind (compared to good CSS). Since I wouldn't want to waste time on a “dead” thread, I'll stop here. But if anyone is curious and wants me to elaborate, it'll be a pleasure to do so.
