I had the chance to use Tailwind recently. I don’t think it’s disputable that in a sense it mocks the “cascading” part of CSS, though I’m not sure I’d hold that against Tailwind. It often felt as taking a shortcut to me, but it could be a worthy tradeoff and so far I have not noticed Tailwind overly complicating maintenance and development of an average project. That said, I don’t think I would choose Tailwind if I could use, e.g., web components with scoped styles or something similarly more in line with the spirit so to speak.
