I totally thought this until I started using it on a full project. Six months in and I can't imagine writing traditional CSS or nested SASS classes anymore.
Combined with either Flexbox or CSS Grid, the speed with which you can put together a good looking web page is crazy fast.
- hbn 4y agoI thought it looked silly when I started my current job and saw it for my first time in their frontend applications. Took a little bit to get the hang of, but once I did I was working WAY faster without the mental overhead of having to cross reference 2 text files (HTML + CSS) to build the same UI, keep them in sync, come up with names, etc. I iterate so much quicker, refactoring is so much faster cause you can literally just cut and paste a block of elements, throw them somewhere else, and they just render properly cause you brought the styles along with them. Screen size breakpoints make it so much easier to make responsive UIs. You get a free, built-in layout and color system. It eliminated basically all the major painpoints of building UIs that I had before. I use it in all my personal projects now.
- nazka 4y agoIs it not because you forgot CSS and instead remember the tailwind names?
- jonwinstanley 4y agoHaha. No, I still know CSS but I can’t imagine coming up with class names for everything then going to a different file to define rules. Feels so long winded and hard to keep on top of.
