all kinds of companies make bad choices, i've also seen a bunch of companies use tailwind correctly -> components + @apply are enough to make it very pleasant to work with :)

While that may be true, as I mentioned, if many companies repeatedly keep making the same errors (including a sibling commenter here), it is on the creator to fix it, not the user, and even if they do, it could be a bad solution. Personally I've moved off of Tailwind entirely, too many footguns to deal with, and I'm not sure why it's any better than writing CSS, at scale, not prototyping. In a way, it feels like the CSS version of Perl or APL these days.

Perl, maybe, but not APL. CSS version of APL would let me style my personal site and blog in less characters than it took me to write this comment :).
