In my understanding it somehow abstracts the process of styling a website or whatever and make it easy for people who for any reason don't want to write CSS.

Although I have the sensation many people find hard to write CSS and even despise it (I've read people here in HN who seem to think we should've kept doing layouts with HTML tables and don't agree layout is the job of CSS!) I definitely agree having dozens of classes in your HTML is messy and weird.

Tailwind gives something like a fluent interface.

div.height(maxVH).color(primary).hide()

It’s all stuffed in classes because that’s the limitation given and this information belongs in the markup.

The above is much cleaner to me than: div.class(“primary”). I need to go find primary. What is the parent class. What happens if this isn’t a div now etc. what happens if the parent isn’t a div?

Tailwind just spells it out for you right alongside the layout so that you have all the information in one place.

For me personally, I was able to do things in tailwind I could never do in raw css, but I bet I got better at css as a result.

The docs are also incredible for tailwind. As good as mdn is, you need to already know what you’re looking for.
