Tailwind feels like the coffeescript of CSS.

• johnfn 4y ago
  The difference between Tailwind and CoffeeScript to me seems to be more in the underlying language. JS (and programming in general) is actually quite complex, and you can't hide that complexity under a shiny veneer and hope it goes away. CSS on the other hand is not complex at all. For that reason, it's a lot more plausible that you can make big strides by simplifying the language down to its core essence.

  And controversial opinion - it will have just as as short a shelf-life as coffee-script. Once the CSS spec advances, there will a lot of posts with titles like: "Why you don't need tailwind" or "Learn how to get rid of the tailwind bloat", "Migrating back to Core CSS", "Back to clean, semantic HTML", etc.

  That was SASS. Tailwind is much different than just syntax sugar.
