I seem to have noticed something about these Tailwind love/hate discussions. And it all boils down to this:
Old-school devs seem to like TW for the benefits it gives over other CSS paradigms (Smacss, BEM etc.) It speeds up development over those. Testing and editing in the inspector is simple and easy to put back into the source.
New-style devs (SPA ALL TEH THINGS!!) do NOT like TW. They are already dealing with 3 concerns in the same file. Adding another layer of abstraction is unwelcome. Changes seem to multiply and search/replace makes seemingly simple adjustments a royal pain.
Then there are the Bootstrap acolytes who won't give up their btn-default no matter what comes along.
All I can say is to each their own. But Bootstrap guys(and girls)...it's time to move on. :P
