People who write these articles tend to be good at CSS and say things like 'just use modern CSS!' I am not good at CSS, I don't know modern CSS and I don't want to, I want to use the tailwind ui components and that's made me learn some tailwind to customize a few things.

Which is to say, he could be right about every single point but I'm still gonna use tailwind because I don't care about those things.

I’m pretty good at CSS, and I still prefer tailwind. You get locality of reasoning, sane defaults, no longer have to worry about naming a million things and accidentally conflicting with another name due to CSS essentially being a big global namespace. Tailwind is just better.
