Yes, I try to refactor anything which has a repeating pattern as a component like buttons, headings, form elements, etc. Not always, but most of the time. Well, Chris, I haven't timed myself but it feels quicker since I don't spend time thinking about in which CSS file should I put this CSS? Is it a partial.css or layout.css or base.css? with BEM, SMACCS (or anything that is based on separating the concerns using folder structure) I usually struggle finding answers to

  • where to put it,
  • what is the proper class name
  • and I find myself often lost switching between files.

With TailwindCSS that thought process is completely gone, I just think about the style and that seems to be a good enough win for me.

Yeah, 100% I get your point of where to put stuff etc.
I did have those issues when using bem a lot, like is this a general thing or component line.
It's get's a lot of thinking involved.

For now, let's just try this project with Tailwind and see how I feel after it haha.
