The point is that I will never go back to not using syntax highlight, and I'm sure you understand that it would be futile trying to convince me otherwise. I wouldn't take anyone doing that seriously, and similarly I can't take you seriously.
Yes, being able to copypaste self-contained HTML with all styling included and no depedencies is amazing.
That's nice for you. Similarly, I cannot take anything recommending copy pasting code seriously either, and I'm sure you understand that it would be futile trying to convince me otherwise. I wouldn't take anyone doing that seriously, and similarly I can't take you seriously.
The difference here is that we're not trying to force you to use Tailwind. You asked "What is it about everyone using Tailwind?" and we responded, but you refuse to accept our answers and keep arguing that we're uninformed and wrong for using something we love.
Your copy pasting analogy makes no sense because "syntax highlighting" was referring to you trying to convince me to stop using something I can't live without and had nothing to do with Tailwind. Anyway, nothing wrong with copy pasting code and avoid premature abstractions until they are needed. Being religious about DRY and trying to shoehorn subsequent iterations of similar code into an inflexible abstraction leads to unmaintainable monstrosities.
I don't think you understood the analogy in what I was saying. The finality of your statements regarding you being unable to take me seriously is the exact same thing I could say to you, which is why I phrased it the way I did. You like Tailwind, fine, use it. I don't, but don't try to convince me to use it, just like there's no way I could convince you to not use syntax highlighting.
