Personally I fall into the camp of Tailwind is great (if you use it in a sensible way). TailwindUI and to more of an extend, Catalyst is awful. The fact they have the nerve to call it 'easy', 'usable', etc is laughable.
The snails pace updates on TailwindUI are bad enough, in the time it takes them to release one tiny ~20 line component you'll see half a dozen new and better UI frameworks pop up. But to add insult to injury their obssession with over the top React and Vue usage on the most basic of components just highlights how disconnected from the reality of web development they've become.
It's a CSS framework. I shouldn't be seeing Next, Nuxt, React, Vue or whatever 'hot thing of the week' they're gawping at.
Where tailwind on its own shines is inside a Laravel project with blade components. They are their own individual, reusable and extendable items. Wheather thats better or worse than css classes is up for debate however.
