Apparently, because it ends discussion about CSS frameworks in a team once and for all.

That may sound absurd given tailwind classes represent single CSS property value assertions. But you can pretend and say "look we're using a preprocessor and pipeline step for our CSS" all the while you're hand-crafting your CSS like in days past, making tailwind act like a no-op submarine, and without the bad looks of inline styles.

The benefit is that you don't have to create a badass taxonomy for your frontend classes (that might or might not evolve well) just because CSS is there, especially if you're using CSS-in-JS anyway and might prefer relying on code organization via JS (that you're using anyway).

CSS rules are just a redundant syntax for markup attributes anyway.



Funny it seems like the biggest thing that tailwind solves is the "naming things is hard" problem.
