The multi billion dollar vitamin industry disagrees. Kidding. Only half. I dislike this saying because it doesn't mean anything and just makes some VCs think they're saying something that sounds smart.

There are frameworks that genuinenly improve the development experience for certain uses cases. As with many things, it's important to still now the basics (in this case, CSS), but why not use Tailwind if the philosophy aligns with yours and makes you more productive?

Sure, switching frameworks ever few months to try the hottest shit out there is also not great, and many people overuse frameworks (e.g., React is an overkill for many (most?) applications I have seen). But that doesn't mean there isn't merit in frameworks.
