This feels like the wrong way to think about tailwind.

Every other UI framework or library that I’ve used felt like leaky abstractions. You always have to learn both how the library works AND how css works.

Tailwind isn’t even an abstraction, it’s just a layer of convenience to be used where helpful and ignored where not. The thing I love about Tailwind is that it feels like CSS. In fact, I feel like I know CSS better for having used Tailwind.
