alt Hacker NewsI agree. I don't really like Tailwind, nor similar CSS frameworks. The whole idea was to separate styling from HTML, and Tailwind is putting it back into HTML through the backdoor. It's just a way to do styling from your HTML without having to touch the CSS, by inserting styling info in your HTML. That's exactly what we were trying to move away from.
I think this assertion is where most of the conflict comes from.
There is a fair amount of people that disagree with the premise that it should be separated in that way (Including me).
I personally like this essay by the author of htmx on the topic
https://htmx.org/essays/locality-of-behaviour/
Also just better composition imo.
Practically I think this means components of scoped css, html, js.
People never seem to have the same complaint about mixing or separating app code and sql in the same way?
