The reason people think tailwind is supposed to replace CSS is the way adam wathan and the tailwind fanboys position it that way. There's a lot talk about how terrible css is from that camp.

Honestly, a lot of the negative sentiment comes from how the tailwind 'community' acts and positions themselves.

Can you provide a link to where Adam Wathan said something like that?

The tailwind home page feels tamer now than before, but the tone is still there.

Adam’s replies on twitter have always been a problem. I’m not going to go searching old tweet replies, so you can think I’m talking out of my ass if you want. But the guy is an ass. A lot of the responses to even neutral articles were whining manbabyish stuff (yes that’s subjective opinion). I haven’t seen it lately, so I’m hoping someone had a talk with him.

I do want to reiterate that I think tailwind itself has some great ideas. And there’s nothing wrong with utility css, if you’re not using a library you’ll end up writ a lot of it yourself.
