Tailwind, and the death of web craftsmanship

There's a worrying trend in modern web development, where developers are throwing away decades of carefully wrought systems for a bit of perceived convenience. Tools such as Tailwind CSS seem to be spreading like wildfire, with very few people ever willing to acknowledge the regression they bring to our field. And I'm getting tired of it

    More generally, the more you have a flexible editor in the app, the worst it gets. This is the use case where I ran into trouble.

      Make an element that is hidden that has all possible values of classes you can use. Or use normal css for that one part of your app if that isn’t possible. Lots of ways you can handle this without thinking the framework doesn’t work.

      Tailwind actually has this use case covered already. Use the safe list functionality to always include the classes you need.
