I can't actually disagree with you on this – as someone who had a robust SCSS module workflow and a set of utility functions in place already, Tailwind makes a bunch of stuff worse and makes little obviously better. It's surprisingly clever technology, but I don't like what it does to my code, and I do not in practice see many of the purported advantages of using it.

But I will also say – you need to get over that. It's probably going to be ubiquitous, whether you like it or not. There is some justification for it, it offers some advantages for particular users and use-cases, and it's likely that those advantages are enough to outweigh the downsides in general use. It's not worse enough in the ways that matter. So I've embraced it in the past couple of projects and it's fine – at worst vaguely annoying, and I'm much happier not having to bother hating it any more. Life's too short.
