The rage against Tailwind is absurd. Maybe it is overhyped but it’s an incredibly useful tool and framework; it also brings an enforced consistency that plain CSS doesn’t, which is especially helpful for responsive sites so that the page use feels consistent across platforms.

Compare these two sites:

1. https://justfuckingusetailwind.com/

2. https://fuckyouiwontusetailwind.com/

On mobile, the first site is infinitely more pleasant to use. It sells itself by comparison!





https://justfuckingusetailwind.com makes heavy use of Tailwind specifically to show off the framework

https://fuckyouiwontusetailwind.com keeps it simple on purpose (also because it's copying https://perfectmotherfuckingwebsite.com on purpose)


For me, both sites work fine on mobile. The first one makes a strawman argument by deliberately writing bad CSS and then pointing at it to say that CSS is bad.
