MODERATORS
Theoretically, yet everything I make by myself turns out ugly with it. Tailwind has just enough constraints to protect me from my own dumb stylistic choices.
I'd also even argue that my source is less indecipherable - the challenge in reading CSS is not how it's laid out, but forming a mental picture of how the rules combine to shape your layout, and meanwhile, it does remove an abstraction that I was no longer using (in certain projects - I wouldn't use Tailwind everywhere).
