As soon as I got to the first example, ANIMATION, I stopped reading. If this guy is trying to figure out how to do animations and is getting mad at Tailwind, he shouldn't be using Tailwind, he's not the target market. The call sign of a happy Tailwind user is someone who doesn't want to use Bootstrap anymore, switch tabs constantly to their CSS file, ever have to learn how the fuck animations work, and who instantly falls asleep when trying to learn the proper way to do CSS, even after having to deal with it for 20 years. SCSS? God no, just give me something where I don't have to think and I can make it instantly do what I want. I'll try random stuff for an hour until it works before I have to try and understand and take in something new, the resistance is real. I don't care if it's ugly, I don't care if it's MORE WORK, because for ME, it's not, and I can read the classes quickly and know what is going on and adjust it in real time alongside my content. Do I augment with regular CSS where needed? Yes, because the limitations can be frustrating, but I've only got like a handful of extra classes I need. I'm one who hates to say I like it, because I hate the hype around it, but by god it works so well for me compared to anything else I have to do and I'm able to deploy and edit sites that look decent without being or having access to a designer, and those sites make money for me and pay my living. Can I ever hope to compare to a proper designer or someone who has a solid command and understanding over what to me amounts to the most boring and droll thing ever: CSS? No way, they are wizards and they should hate this impure garbage, but for the rest of us it just works good and gets results with the least amount of thinking, which is all we really wanted. I got shit to do, and it's the fastest, least resistant way to let me do it in the way I know how. It's not for everyone, but it fits the way I currently work, think, and how I value tradeoffs in speed, effort, debt, cleanliness and results. YMMV.
