Come on - your turn. Come back with your version of that Catalyst button that does everything that’s being done by those Tailwind styles.

I've written an entire article that about Tailwind's "don't clean things up" attitude:

The bloat takes several forms

1. The amount of source HTML/CSS needed

2. The code complexity (class & DIV/SPAN "soup")

3. The weight of CSS & JS on the resulting website

Happy to write a comparison to Calypso, which is on a whole new level. Betting 10-20x bloat differences to semantic CSS.

Both this and the post you linked are great.

I do think it would be great to make a follow-up post on Calypso, even if only on the button. Looking forward to it.
