And for those that prefer a different editor? Just saying, if a tool then pushes you into another specific tool for maximum efficiency using it, that alone gives me pause.
- ceejayoz 3y ago> And for those that prefer a different editor? A plugin is likely available for that, too. I use PHPStorm a lot; https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/tailwind-css.html https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/tailwind-css.html Panic's Nova? https://extensions.panic.com/extensions/jasonplatts/jasonplatts.tailwindcss/ https://extensions.panic.com/extensions/jasonplatts/jasonpla... Vim? https://vimawesome.com/plugin/coc-tailwindcss https://vimawesome.com/plugin/coc-tailwindcss etc.
- LocalPCGuy 3y agoMissed the underlying point but I'll make it explicit - if a plugin is "needed" that is also a red flag for me.
- ceejayoz 3y agoI suspect the number of developers with zero plugins in their IDE of choice is vanishingly small. That said, it's not needed. It's just a quality-of-life improvement, like most other IDE features. You can write a Tailwind site in Notepad, if you prefer.

- LocalPCGuy 3y agoOh for sure, and devs should do what is needed to be more efficient and to make their development enjoyable. The poster I was responding to said "you have to install the vscode plugin" to enjoy using Tailwinds. So that's the specific part I was responding to.
- toldyouso2022 3y agoI should have said intellisense. Without getting suggestions you do have to go to the docs a lot in the beginning and it is frustrating, but with intellisense I found myself proficient in a couple days and I was among those that din't give an opportunity to tailwind for years. I really wasted time, it works great
- Rumudiez 3y agoIf I made a hammer but you need a special glove to use it proficiently, then I didn’t make a very good hammer
- ceejayoz 3y agoSomeone who uses a hammer all day may very well decide to use gloves - you'll see a lot of them on construction sites - and they'll probably also opt for a hard hat and safety glasses. Consider these their plugins.
- Spivak 3y agoYou mean like welding gloves?
- arrowsmith 3y agoAs opposed to all those other programming languages/libraries/frameworks for which noone ever benefits by installing a plugin for their editor.
- fragmede 3y agoI don't think that analogy holds. If my special hammer let's you go 10x as fast as a regular one, but you need to wear special gloves because otherwise it'll cause blisters, I think I still made a good hammer, just wear the gloves!
