That's a very fair comment, but I do sort of agree with the person you're replying to.

Others here have provided reasons why Tailwind is great, and many comments just center around how it's at least not a bad idea.

But for myself, I read a lot of these arguments before and wasn't convinced until I used it in a fairly big project. To some extent it's hard to explain the benefits because once you get past the more 'ideological' issues (separation of concerns, etc.), it's really much more about how it affects the flow of day to day work. I don't think any arguments would've really convinced me, but because of the excitement around here I gave it a shot, and was convinced by seeing how my project grew without many of the usual CSS issues I'd run into (as well as the convenience of just not having to switch to a stylesheet file most of the time).

But I do understand how frustrating a comment like that can be.
