Less LOC is huge. For my entire site I have about 30 lines of custom CSS. The rest is just Tailwind with some custom brand related colors loaded into the config and named.
Previous CSS file was 2,000 lines and kept growing because it was easier to just add something new than make sense if exactly what was in there and where it was used. Dramatically simplified maintenance.
Additionally, there are hundreds of CSS frameworks out there. Everybody has a preference for which one is best too. It results in analysis paralysis trying to figure out which one you should invest the time to learn and apply to your project, when you should be thinking only about what you need to do.
My expectation is for Tailwind to be the last CSS framework I’ll ever learn. I don’t get into Tailwind UI because the components are plenty easy to build on their own thanks to Tailwind.
The design ebook that those guys wrote does a great job of explaining the reasons you’d build the way that Tailwind is built. I read the entire thing and couldn’t argue with any of it. That’s rare for me.
