replyI don’t believe Tailwind is inherently worse than pure CSS. If Tailwind had existed from day 1 on the web and you had learned it first you probably wouldn’t say this. In fact, if Tailwind had existed first somehow, and someone came up with CSS as we know it as a new revolutionary library, I’m not sure it would have succeeded.
Well, the old-school way was something like this: h1.font.size = 24pt 100%. Tailwind has its own syntax, so you need to learn it first, which adds extra cognitive load. For things like * { color: } in Tailwind, you have multiple options: text-color, stroke-color, etc. With FCSS, you simply have color--[colorname] { color: … }. It’s simpler and avoids unnecessary cognitive load.
replyYeah learning syntax is not rocket science, using that against Tailwind is not a valid argument IMO
