I tried tailwind for the first time today. Originally I saw the code and was just like what a complete mess... I hate it. 20 minutes later... I really like it. Actually I have always felt like CSS does not scale well on large projects, it grows and grows and grows and then there is dead CSS everywhere.... and it's nested and kind of awkward. It does bloat the HTML but this could be minimized in the same way Facebook showed with their stylex library. I will need to create multiple themes and colour schemes so maybe I am biast because I think for that it will work really well.

That's great to hear! If you feel a little skeptical I also created a free interactive tutorial on Tailwind here which covers even more benefits than this blog post.
