In an ideal world yes. But in the real world nobody knows everything, we have deadlines, and no company actually sets aside time to onboard you on CSS.

But also, it takes a while to establish a pattern. Using tailwind wasn't my decision and it took a while of working with it before I noticed that I was rejecting fewer PR's for `!important`. It took a little longer to establish the cause was tailwind and the reasoning behind why.

But also, how are people supposed to learn with all this noise? Most of the critique of tailwind in this thread is incredibly surface level.
