Tailwind is a multi million dollar business [1] and I've found that the only credible explanation is they they simply hire people to leave positive comments in popular forums. The backenders who bite on it will eventually despair and "upgrade" to Tailwind UI which is a paid product. If there are real frontenders who buy into this, they are from a segment that have not followed CSS for the last ten years while being young enough, not to remember HTML 3.2 which appears remarkably similar to Tailwind and indeed gave birth to CSS; which if it had been inventented today would be hailed it as a giant leap forward. Well, CSS is still being invented today, but since the latest tech maps badly to presentational classes [2] they will never know about it. I use Tailwind every day and it's a disaster.
