It's a vocabulary you quickly get used to, and when paired with editor plugins, it's a non-issue in my experience.

Yeah, and it's much better than trying to figure out what random class names some dev made up are doing.

I agree that ‘div soup’ is a problem - I’ve seen a lot of react code by new developers that resembles GWT generated DOMs. But ‘div soup’ has other problems too - way over complicated doms are hard to edit and debug - and the problem is better solved by learning CSS basics to avoid all the wrapper divs you see in React apps made by junior front end developers.

Most of the time I know the CSS already I have to convert it to tailwind - and devtools uses the same syntax so (as the article mentions) the abstraction leaks.
