You could say the same about any api not being immediately obvious. > And using shorthands for singular properties feels like reinvented CSS It’s quite a nice way to describe css in my experience. The shorthand classes actually teaches you css too. As they’re basically a 1-1 mapping, but you can write them much faster than manually writing the styles It also scales well, as you don’t get crazy css class hierarchy’s that are hard to modify. > you can’t even refactor mb-5 { margin-bottom: 6α }. If you can’t use it to refactor, what’s its point? Not impossible, I mean you can easily edit the tailwind.config to be different for mb-5. Or search all relevant instances of mb-5 and replace them with mb-6 for example. I think it’s best for component-driven development, where you want to encapsulate styles with components and not have them dependent on the context that their in. It does make the HTML more verbose, but development much easier and faster |
