Why is this advertised as HTML-first and framework-agnostic ? It directly leverages tailwind and UIKit libraries. That is NOT framework agnostic by any means.

Tailwind is just a convenience compiler for CSS, it's hardly a framework.

  by that logic nothing is a framework, everything "compiles" to js and css

    I didn't say it wasn't a framework because it compiles. I would expect framework to be a large shift in how you write or structure code. But there's no agreed definition.

  There are Javascript frameworks and CSS frameworks. Tailwind is the later one. Even the Tailwind front page describes it as a CSS framework.

    That’s technically true, but anyone I know in the field would immediately understand what is meant by framework agnostic in this case. Unless we’re being pedantic for the sake of it, of course.

      Yes. I immediately knew what it meant. GP is being needlessly literal. Language is a communication tool. I, as the audience, was communicated to as intended. I’m not sure what this pedantry does for anyone.
