Sadly. Tailwind is so oof in my opinion. Lets import megabytes just so we don't have to write 5 whole CSS classes. I mean just copy paste the code.

Don't get me stared on how ugly the HTML becomes when most tags have 20 f*cking classes which could have been two.

In most reasonably-sized websites, Tailwind will decrease overall bundle size when compared to other ways of writing CSS. Which is less code, 100 instances of "margin-left: 8px" or 100 instances of "ml-2" (and a single definition for ml-2)? Tailwind will dead-code eliminate all rules you're not using.

In typical production environments tailwind is only around 10kb[1].

So. We've moved rom "human compiler" to "human compression encoder"?

You're doing it wrong. Tailwind is endlessly customizable and after compilation is only kilobytes. But yes lets complain because we don't understand the tooling....
