mt-100 vs. margin-top: var(--100);
And the IDE will help you autocomplete it all. The same is true for all the other properties you enumerated. If it's a Tailwind design token, it can be a pure CSS design token. No "whack-a-mole" needed here.
Still, you're right about having documentation. And there has been a loooot of these kinds of doc (BEM, SMACSS, ITCSS, etc.) in the last 15 years. Nonetheless, a more modern-oriented one is indeed needed. And that's why I'm working on something like this.
As for the "15 seconds", I mean, really? If so, I beg to disagree. There is a lot to take in. And that is why numerous colleagues still have to open the Tailwind docs to know how to write a class that's not 1:1 CSS.
And lucky you if you haven't had any update and dependency issues in the medium to long term. But I know we had.

The sentence above is every bit as true as yours. Add a beautiful design language and you are in business.
