WHY THE FUCK IS TAILWIND SO GOOD

because it makes things more simple rather than complex, unlike many other frameworks.

At least that's my take on it. I don't really like doing frontend, but with tailwind it's just a little bit better

@Hazarth Was bootstrap really that worse ?

You still end with 10 classes on a div just to do it what you want in Tailwind no ?

@theKarlisK Sure, but you can't deny that

<img class="w-16 md:w-32 lg:w-48" src="...">

is better than the bootstrap version

<div class="col-16 col-sm-3">.<img src="..."></div>

Both are ugly to me :D

It's so funny to me how much tailwind was hated in the very beginning, the inventor basically was like "hear me out"

@Grumm What the others said. Bootstrap was a great idea and I'd say it's the grand-daddy of css frameworks (though I'm not a FE dev, I don't know if that's true, just feels like BS was the first-ish?)

But the structure that bootstrap leave you with is somewhat difficult to read at a glance. I always found it ugly and pretty much shuddered whenever I've seen FE use it.

With tailwind it just seems much more natural. less div-y and it's strictly low-level declarative style means you can think in concepts that are already intuitive to you if you know CSS, but with bootstrap you had to remember their custom elements and namings.

But hey, if it works it works

I mean, like, the concept of modificators is appealing and all, but today I'm just indifferent about *any* frameworks.You wouldn't hear this from 1 year ago me.

I'm in a state of questioning whether I really need these shortcuts or not. Design systems are better written and disassembled in plain modern CSS, in my opinion.

@Hazarth Yes, I can read a lot about that.

I think bootstrap was the first to be a framework (or the first well-know)

I see tailwind the same as typescript : a better version of bootstrap (ts = better version of js)

@ostream tbh I know css, I also had been teaching it until a year ago.

Recently I switched from writing pure css to tailwind. writing pure css is damn boring
