One reason I think Tailwind became so popular is that it makes it much easier to pattern match CSS. I don't think it's a good or bad thing, it's just a thing.
Yeah, I am not saying its bad in all applications, just that people who use CSS these days rarely really know CSS (who can know it all?), which isn't really any different from the past on a general level. Yet, I think we should push our peers to view the entirety of CSS as meaningful and worthy of attention.
I'm forcing myself to use raw CSS in my recent work just so I can gain a better understanding of it. It's nice what you can achieve without JS, but man sometimes it just feels like arranging arcane symbols until you achieve the desired result.
