On the other side of things, sites without a framework generally opt for a convention like "BEM" (block-element-modifier). BEM seems to be the worst of both worlds, both abandoning the "cascading" part of "Cascading Style Sheets" and still requiring verbose class names!
I've been working on a Tailwind project for the last six months with a team of around 8 people. We did a bunch of initial work getting the Tailwind config just right and some base styling in place, but since then we've barely written a line of CSS. Yes, the templates are verbose, but they are also incredibly readable and easy to reason about what classes are doing what. On-ramping new people has been easy as well, since they don't have to learn some custom system, instead they can just read the docs on the Tailwind site.
