I was in the camp "this-is-bullshit" until recently. It felt backwards. We recently switched to Tailwind for one of our projects, and Tailwind was a delight to use, especially with its VS Code extension. Code readability is surprisingly not that big of a deal because we use components. Of course if you are looking at the raw HTML in chrome tools, it can get disorienting. For folks that are worried about having to learn yet another "language", the learn curve is pretty short.
yep. With the VSCode extension, you don't even need to read the docs. I would just type in what I thought I wanted, and most of the time it would work. It's awesome.
