Oh I didn't realize I was speaking to the author of the article! I enjoyed it very much, it was thought-provoking, educational, and made me wonder about new ways of integrating HTML and CSS beyond classes.

One aspect of Tailwind that I'm not satisfied with is editor integration, in particular linting, hints, autocomplete. There are editor extensions for this, but it feels too cramped working inside the `class` value, a single space-separated string.

Custom elements and attributes could enable a better editing experience, for example autocomplete suggestions can be specific to attribute name; or if the attribute is known to have a color as value, the editor can provide a color picker to fill in the value.
