For anyone reading this since its pretty high, it's one of those cases of really high HN bias, that actually got to me. I'm not blaming OP, the question seems innocent enough, but I had this bias and some others myself until I used Tailwind for an actual project and have never looked back, and most of the criticism that appears in HN is just misunderstood concepts and harsh sounding soundbites. I distrust HN's general sentiment on stuff more (if there is such a thing but you know what I mean), I check for myself. Regarding tailwind specifically, it's the modern way of "just css" which goes amazingly well with having the component abstraction level. You don't abstract your css, you keep it all in base level, you abstract components, in this particular case you would go to your button component and change all of the application's button at once.
