I'm enjoying working with @tailwindcss


I'm enjoying working with @tailwindcss.

The final CSS is lean.
I don't have to name things.
Each style I use is well documented.
Autocomplete is excellent (VS Code).
It enforces handling styles consistently.

Good stuff!
My big concern about the "noisy" HTML it produces was largely unfounded.

I create reusable components in React, and those components hold the styles. So, the (admittedly long) class declarations are mostly out of sight.

Tailwind seems a great fit for component libraries.
One downside: I can't just copy/paste styles from Figma/requirements. I have to "translate" style declarations into Tailwind.

So, if the CSS is already in a tool like Figma, Tailwind is less of a win.

But, on projects where I'm setting the styles, Tailwind is a slam dunk. 👍
