Yes. Nue is probably not a good pick for people who really like things like React and Tailwind. It's more like going backwards in time when standard HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript was a thing.

Tailwind is maybe good for people that do not want to learn CSS but creates bloat for user to download.

You can use DaisyUI to clean things up

How exactly do you use Tailwind without knowing how to use regular CSS first? Pretty much everyone I known uses Tailwind BECAUSE dealing with CSS is a fucking nightmare, even in component-based frameworks.

I know CSS and have to look always into the Tailwind documentation to find the corresponding settings. As long as you use tailwind 0815 settings everything is ok, but not easier as css (if you know css).

You do know that unused styles get removed and Tailwind gets converted to plain CSS?

Welp, I'm in!

The problem in the past with css was the inconsistent browser implementation, this should be solved since some years.

And now we have native nesting, wich was in old times a reason for use things like sass/scss/... CSS-Variables too, so theming is not a pain in the a.. anymore.

You can use overbloated frameworks, but i did not see a reason anymore for that. Especially when you develop component based. Tailwind on a top level is ok, but not within a component and child items, unnecessary complicated.
