> I have no idea how tailwind has gotten so popular

- marketing - influencers - novice developers who blindly follow infulencers - great documentation

I second this, as a designer. Maintaining atomic tokens in plain css as custom properties is much more ergonomic than having utility classes.

as a designer, ability of naming thing is extremely crucial regardless of how hard it is. As you mentioned figma, I agree that not just the components, but also frames should be named properly.

Unlike many, I was never skeptical of Tailwind. A few years ago, I'd chase whatever the "cool" and "trendy" thing in the market. So I started using tailwind in 2021. Initially it felt very productive especially for personal projects. Then over time, as utilities increased, so did my cognitive overhead.

Also I'll never be able to understand to point of having extremely atomic utils like `bg-color-green-100`, `pb-40` and such. We have custom properties for that and for a large design system, maintaining variables in a css file is more ergonomic than editing a tailwind config.
