> Tailwind projects read like the wall writings of a mad man My dear pot, you should meet my friend Kettle. Really, this is a lot of text that sums up your personal preferences as to why you don't like Tailwind. Nothing concretely objective here. And, by the way, I agree with some of it! But you're also ignoring Tailwind is used by massive, engineer-first companies (such as Stripe), and the engineers in question actually like working with Tailwind. This idea that people who use Tailwind hate it is obvious nonsense, and it's always a significant tell that someone hasn't really produced anything with it when they start claiming that about others.

Stripe is not a dude, it's a company of many people with different skills in different areas. I also often wonder how OpenAI has a team that can create the world's top AI model currently, and yet their front-end chat app and plugin model has basic injections, usability issues, accidental user information disclosures and other novice bugs, but there you go. I guess it's possible to have a company skilled in something and stupid in another. I think my critique was sufficiently detailed, but if you like Tailwind's approach you may enjoy it coming to your language of choice, where you can code by writing very long variable names in a highly specific way, which are then read by reflection and interpreted as code.

No need for Tailwind; in enterprisey Java land we already have Hibernate and Spring Boot for those who like long, magical method names. And if you want an extra layer of obfuscation, drop Lombok in there.
