* Tailwind doesn’t claim to have invented utility classes, nor even utility-first CSS architecture.
* HTML has always mixed semantics and presentation.
* It’s terrific for production applications because we don’t lovingly hand-craft each DOM node. Far from being an enemy of reuse, it enables refactoring at the point of HTML generation, and aligns particularly well with partials and view helper functions/objects.
* The cascade is still there; you’re not fucked. Not even if you’ve been suckered into using some react-like framework.
