Who said anything about Bootstrap? I'm also very curious what you're doing instead of using modifier classes to style variants. Are you just writing inline styles? Duplicating other class styles to create a new class just to avoid this?
I guess everything else I pointed out you don't feel like addressing? It's pretty clear to me that you aren't interested in wavering from your original "opinion" here.
Best of luck navigating this industry with that mentality.
I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
I did, me. What I'm saying is that I've worked places where we've used Bootstrap, which uses modifier classes and does basically all the things people criticise about Tailwind. Just because I've worked somewhere that does it a particular way, and where I go along with it because it's my job, doesn't mean I approve of something. So yes, I have and still do use modifier classes, and no I don't think they're the right approach.
