I don't understand this article, it presumes tailwind as a sane default without really justifying it. It kind of comes across as someone who's trying to justify a bad decision and they know the the facts are not on their side.
This is despite the fact I also think tailwind is the right choice, and I'll be living my life as if tailwind is the modern replacement for bootstrap.
> Tailwind has large (200kb) JS payloads
My tailwind deployment is 7kb css (before gzip+min) and 0kb js (0 files).
But that aside, there are known studies that statistically speaking, users leave if your page is slower.
> Senior leaders care about cost, not artistry, when assessing technical decisions
so we'll continue using the thing that existed before tailwind, then? I think my CEO would get mad and fire me if I rewrote all my bootstrap stuff into tailwind.
I would really like to read articles that give strong arguments in favor of using tailwind.
