Discussion on: My first experiences with Tailwind CSS

The prospect is attractive to junior developers. They think CSS is difficult so anything that allows them to write as little CSS as possible is a massive win. So instead of using that precious time learning CSS, they learn tailwind. What’s even worse is when they used bootstrap before; imagine all these years learning frameworks while they could have learnt a core knowledge instead. It blows my mind and makes me really sad.

True indeed, let's hope a trend will come where we just go back to vanilla js and plain css then :D

Mate, it's up to you only to follow the trend you feel is the right one, but generally speaking, trends in development don't last long. Be a craftsman, don't let the brand new shiny tools get control of yourself.
