I feel the same about people praising Tailwind.

Tailwind (and similar, I tend to use https://unocss.dev/) is not good for your frontend architecture BUT they allow you to be so fast, that it negates the benefits.

For a job well done, I'd follow the principles of https://maintainablecss.com/ For throwaway code I need to cram out as fast as I can, Tailwind it is.

I understand agencies using Tailwind, or Bootstrap, their revenue depends on it.

> For a job well done

What's the definition of a job well done? In my eyes it's completing the project and getting it out the door to customers to use. If Tailwind makes that happen, then isn't it a job well done?
