Completely agree with you. I greatly prefer something like PicoCSS (https://picocss.com/) which tries to use plain HTML5 as much as possible.

Interesting. I like the idea of clean HTML. It's probably great for small projects but I'm not sure it would scale for bigger applications.

In my experience with larger applications no matter what CSS framework you use you eventually want to ditch it and move to fully custom CSS. Starting with this kind of a clean HTML base makes that easier IMO.

That was my experience... until I used Tailwind. The thing is, it basically is fully custom CSS. It's just inline since you already have a re-usability abstraction if you are building a component based application. It's not even really a CSS framework at all. It's infinitely less prescriptive than what you usually see.
