I thought the OP said the opposite: meanies on the web are calling you a bad person for using React and Tailwind when all you wanted to do was create something.
Anyhow, from my standpoint I just like to be able to make sense of something when I look at its source, and I like it not to freak out because I have a chrome extension or two.
I’d also argue that you’ll still need to know how CSS works even if you’re using tailwind. It’s still CSS it’s just that you don’t have to build everything yourself, but you do have to know how it works.
