I feel like that's a good thing, because Tailwind's options are well-thought and work well.
I like to think of it in the same way as Inter being the new Helvetica when it comes to choosing a font for a website: lots of people do it, and it looks great, so why not?
Heck yeah, cool to see Tailwind add support for transitions without Javascript.
As a burgeoning web developer, dealing with animation libraries seems like it's not worth the effort (or at least not for something as simple as a blog), so this is much appreciated.
