After writing Tailwind for a few years, I've kinda shifted position on the maintainability of it.
It's definitely easier than any alternative, but it's also painful to read through a giant list of classes. There's no getting around that.
I think a better way to put it is that Tailwind optimizes for writes vs reads. It sacrifices the readability of HTML for the writability of CSS.
I still think that's a worthwhile tradeoff, but it's definitely a tradeoff.
