I've discovered functional CSS some months ago, and I don't think I'll ever look back. Building everything with simple classes makes it easy to keep things consistent, appearance concerns live firmly in the style layer, and once patterns of classes used together start to appear, I can break the rules a little with SCSS and make classes like "button" ("ps ts cap rc2 box1") for the shorthand convenience.

Once you add all of those classes, it's nearly impossible to add a developer who isn't used to it. It's also really hard for me to read. Tailwind / bootstrap etc - is a total deal breaker for me. I'll just get a different client. https://www.browserlondon.com/blog/2019/06/10/functional-css... I just can't imagine not writing CSS like this: https://maintainablecss.com/chapters/introduction
Specially if you work with reactive HTMl, like VUE or React. It's a win. Even with old MVC frameworks you can work confortably and have inmeasurable performance and development speed. The CSS becomes so easy to read, mantain. Changing things is way faster. Back then I needed to watch so many things to do the job. That's why I lost my OO CSS bias.
