The key point in this article is not Tailwind. It is the endless susceptibility by software developers to marketing campaigns. There are real costs to the use of any tool and these are completely glossed over by someone looking to sell you goods or services. Here are some very real costs: technical attrition, maintenance, and training. Technical attrition: Perhaps some people would use the terms amortization or depreciation, but I consider software to be in a separate class than intangible or tangible assets, the point being, there is a rather short shelf life for almost any technical product. CSS isn't going anywhere but tools like Bootstrap will come and go. Maintenance: The old version of a CSS wrapper will stop receiving support and require upgrading to the new version which will take significant time and effort. Training: There are orders of magnitude more individuals that know CSS than know Tailwind and they will be less productive for a given period of time.
