I don’t know about Shadcn, but how does Tailaind hampers your ability to do anything?

Some developers are CSS experts.

  • Can you show me some examples that are hard to implement in Tailwind? I've been using Tailwind for an app with a somewhat complex UI for the past ~2 years, and it works great most of the time. Sometimes it doesn't, but then I write some CSS. Tailwind doesn't stop me from doing so.

    • Tailwind removes the C and the S, leaving only the S in CSS. (In long form, CSS is supposed to encourage modularity and a separation of concerns, concepts totally abandoned in the world of per-element styles.)

    • You're kind of missing the point. I'll probably bungle this analogy, but why is it important to a furniture startup that a master carpenter can put together Ikea?
