Can you explain? Tailwind massively reduces overhead for abstraction, classing, documentation, and maintenance.

AFAICT, Tailwind is largely (not entirely) a different, shorter syntax for writing inline styles. (E.g., "class: 'bg-white'" = "style: 'background-color: white'".)

If you've rejected structural CSS to begin with, I sort of get the point that it saves a lot of typing; otherwise I don't see how it helps all that much over SASS or just modern plain CSS.

    Tailwind is a dirty hack, normally you are supposed to declare a class, which you apply to items of the same concept. This is the cause for CSS to exist.

    Front devs got lazy, and started writing for each element, position: absolute; left:3px, top:6px, color:red;...

    You could write <font color="red">Hello</font> this would be similar "cleanliness"
