It's gaining momentum and it has been around for 4 years (https://adamwathan.me/going-full-time-on-tailwind-css/ https://adamwathan.me/going-full-time-on-tailwind-css/, https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/commit/421c1b0d7d121f94dac4c2d2534830aba0b0bff1 https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/commit/421c1b0d7...)
It was preceded by other similar frameworks, too. It's a pattern some people like, and it's productive enough that I suspect it'll stick around.
- hunterb123 5y agoI didn't mean to indicate it would disappear or it's new. I meant "fad" in the sense that it's really popular right now, but it'll die down later on back to the few that it really clicks with. I doubt it'll be the standard across the styling ecosystem, it'll be like Svelte, or at best like Vue, is to React.
- steve_adams_86 5y agoRight, I misunderstood you and I agree with that. I suspect CSS might always have some cliquey tools like this because although it's fundamentally not too complicated, it doesn't suit all people's ways of solving problems (visually or otherwise) - they'll always reach for something that helps them abstract it some other way or patch holes in their understanding of the language.
