Many people had to try it to really understand what the hype is all about, so it's pretty clearly difficult to explain.

If you give the combination of Tailwind + Alpine.js + your favorite server-side templating engine a try, it may just click. At least for me, that was the key.

To me, it seems like a really bad sign if something that is supposed to solve a problem is “hard to explain”, almost like it doesn’t actually solve any problem and just ropes you in with familiarity.

My assessment is based on the fact that when you design something, you generally have to be able to explain its value, with little exception.
