Agreed.
For me an increasingly important factor is documentation. Good documentation can save so MUCH time and headaches, and tailwind's is so good that I have an easier time accepting its defects and trade-offs on that basis alone.
The tooling around Tailwind is so good. The VSCode intellisense plugin auto-suggests tailwind classes for me, which means I don’t even need to reference the docs unless I’m looking for obscure functionality. It’s amazing.
I've found VS Code's Tailwind intellisense to be unreliable. Half the time it just doesn't generate anything.
