i appreciate the OP's take and insight but couldn't agree more with this comment.

> yet here I am more productive than ever thanks to it. i have first hand experience with most of the css frameworks. heck, even wrote a custom scss one at one point, but eventually there's a simplicity (admittedly to a fault at times) to tailwind that just makes you more productive.

> Plus people sticking to increments of 0.25rem ins this is another really good point that doesn't come through as much. Tailwind also does a fantastic job of picking the right defaults which 90% of the internet won't do.

from the OP's original piece

... or importantly, it sets up a solid set of defaults.
