Comment on Unpopular Opinion: Bootstrap is a better front-end framework than Tailwindparent

Comments

Which leads us to: Tailwind supports making your own components, and encourages it. But devs, either pressed for time or lazy, or by always getting a slightly too unique design from their design team, don't do it.

At the same time, not everything is a reusable component, so yeah, shove a couple dozen tailwind classes there and call it a day. Still better and less messy than hand-wringing custom selectors or custom element styling - else Bootstrap would be better for tweaking than "100% tweaks".

It's the usual OOP debate on inheritance vs composition.

Tailwind is composition, and it's clearly the favoured approach.
