If a tool’s design makes it easy to cut myself, the response is not “people have been cutting themselves for years”.

There is such a thing as the ergonomics of the tool. Yes div soup has been around a long time. But also yes, Tailwind makes the wrong approach the easy one.

It’s ergonomics encourage adding div elements to support styles. It’s the core design loop.

You’re conflating “forces to” and “ergonomically encouraged”.

i just don't agree tailwind makes it any more easy to make div soup than any other approach. if you don't care or know how to build proper markup no style approach is going to save (or hinder) you
It’s just the most effective approach, in my opinion. If it’s wrong then I don’t want to be right.
to solumunus: notice your comment downvoted? it appears someone who is against Tailwind downvotes all pro-Tailwind comments. I think i know who- and will reciprocate in kind.
