Thanks.

What I needed today is for a rando on the internet to call me stupid, a dev who doesn't fully grasp CSS + design.

I use tailwindcss and so do other devs. Many of those devs are better than me and you.

Instead of assuming that everyone who disagrees with your choices is stupid, maybe reflect on popularity of tailwindcss and assume, in an Ockham's Razor kind of way, that it's a good technology. Even if it's not a technology that you personally want to use.

I was in no way talking about you, I was talking about backend devs in general who are thankful for something like Tailwind.

Just like I, a front-end dev + designer am thankful for something like Firebase, because my backend skills are fairly nonexistent.

That went bad quickly! You are putting words in the mouth of the original comments for no reason. "a dev who doesn't fully grasp CSS + design" does not mean a stupid dev; it can be a dev who decides that he doesn't need to fully grasp CSS + design to do a great job. Why is that weird that the owner of an App design service agency prefers pure CSS over a library?
