As a forceful critic of Tailwind over many years now, I must say all of the announcements under the CSS-first configuration are extremely welcome. This makes it possible to take advantage of all of Tailwind's design tokens, reset, etc.—and even even customize them via real CSS—and then use tokens in honest-to-goodness CSS via native variables. This opens up a new world of "light" usage of Tailwind for its theming and utilities, *without* throwing away all of the awesomeness of modern CSS architecture, the cascade, and even shadow DOM in web components. I'm a huge fan of this major improvement to the framework.
