Are we still complaining about Tailwind? This ship has sailed. The world is so much better than the old BEM/LESS hell, it is wonderful. UnoCSS is even greater in empowering frontend developers.

BEM is actually not hell, since the whole point is to have classes with a specificity of 1, making precedence of CSS rules easy to figure out.

Non-BEM CSS with ids and multi-classes everywhere was hell.

  • Agreed. I owe a beer to whoever thought of BEM. It's saved precious brain cycles thinking of names. At first I was like what is this bem__opinion--rubbish but then it clicked and my workflow improved.
