> Why did you opt for Atomic CSS instead of Tailwind?

I've been using Tailwind since 2019, and I would recommend Tailwind to anyone, but I still don't understand why people always try to get others to use it over something else. Is something wrong with Atomic CSS?

Maybe the "atomic CSS" part wasn't very clear—we just meant the concept of atomic CSS.

We love tailwind as everyone else in their right mind, but we're using our own flavor of the concept I started years ago: https://fractures.dev

On the why: We plan on having a lot of novel, one off interfaces, which TW isn't just right for. CSS is. We also don't have an frontend scaling problem, as I'm the sole developer here.

I think you misunderstand Tailwind, but there's nothing wrong with your technology choice. :)
