Discussion on: Tailwind isn't the answer

Yeah that’s a totally valid use-case for tailwind, and if I was building a quick prototype that didn’t need to scale I’d probably use it myself.

I more wanted to point out some issues that I have come across at scale with it, because it’s often presented as a flawless new way to do things, which isn’t the case

I guess I disagree with the premise that Tailwind only makes sense for prototypes and can’t scale. I’ve built/maintain a number of projects with some using Tailwind and others using various SASS/CSS frameworks and the Tailwind projects are an order of magnitude easier to maintain.

That is what attracted me to Tailwind. I find it easy to build projects AND easy to maintain.

I’m not saying it’s going to work for everyone but it’s certainly NOT only for PoCs.
