I'd wager that most people who jumped to tailwind and sing its praises never wrote good css to begin with (or never worked on a project that handled css well). Frontend culture is like that: there's a lot of novelty and fads that last a couple years.

The best css projects I ever worked on were led by people who were just good at css. They didn't write a lot of shared styles. That's my main complaint about poorly written js or css: code that depends on other code without good or self-evident reason. The argument "it's easier to write" imo doesn't hold up because you read code 10x more than you write it. Good code optimizes for reading not writing.

I'm partial to css that relies on primitives like the `rem` unit and css-modules.
