> The key to Tailwind's popularity is the painstakingly constructed system of design tokens at the core of the framework. The system's carefully selected constraints give developers just the right guardrails. They make it obvious whether a choice is good or bad by offering only discrete steps.
Can anyone comment more on this? As far as I see, there's still a big enough range of font sizes, padding/margin sizes, colours etc. that you still have to have an eye for design for the result to look pleasing. I've seen multiple landing pages made in Tailwind for example that don't look good.
Bootstrap in comparison will have a really uniform look if you use the built-in components, but you won't be able to build something that looks as good as Tailwind.
