Ask HN: What are the benefits of using Tailwind if you know CSS/SASS well?
- briandear 2y agoNone in my opinion. Introduces bloat in both the css and html. The BEM pattern is far superior. https://getbem.com/ https://getbem.com/
- devKnight 2y agoIf you are extremely disciplined when it comes to your custom css, sure its better. But like any framework or library, tailwind lets other people jump in quickly and be productive because its a standard. Though i may be biased because i love using tailwind
- mrholek 2y agoI understand that you can start creating faster using their utilities, but as a UI library creator, I have to write more complex styles and can't do this with Tailwind.
- FormFollowsFunc 2y agoWould implementing the utility first approach of Tailwind in Sass be better i.e. a Sass interpretation of their @apply directive? Packing a bunch of class names into HTML doesn't seem like a great developer experience.
- chistev 2y agoWhen you use a framework like SvelteKit, I don't even see the point.
- meiraleal 2y agoYou can add it to your CV. Other than that, there is no benefit.
