Almost none of that is specific to Tailwind though, you can take any design system in CSS with or without JS and make the same argument right?

- ffsm8 2mo agoWhat do you think tailwind is? It's a utility to generate deduped/treeshacken css classes - according to a config file the parent mentioned It's not some grand framework or something. It's literally doing exactly what the grand parent said. Define root css variables, and generate the applicable/used css classes that were used in the code
- throwaway9an1zx 2mo agoI use Tailwind for work and hobby projects and what you said is exactly what I think Tailwind is and why I use it. I don’t understand where the disagreement is. I was only pointing out a lot of the “magic” from Tailwind’s abstraction isn’t as magical as the GP you referred to implies.
- ffsm8 2mo agoI see, I must've misunderstood your comment earlier.
- Aeolos 2mo agoThe poster I responded to, specifically asked for how to implement this in tailwind, with a worry about "do you really style each component separately for dark mode? Repeating the same modifiers over and over?" I simply answered his question - tailwind is indeed just plain old CSS with a more ergonomic DX.
