The demo is impressive but real-world usage reveals rough edges.

The API design is thoughtful. Integrates well with existing stacks.

AI tools generate Tailwind better than any other CSS approach. When v0 or Claude writes UI code, it's Tailwind. That alone makes it the right choice for AI-assisted development.

Been using this for 3 months — it's become indispensable.

The 'ugly HTML' argument is dead. With component extraction and proper tooling, Tailwind codebases are more maintainable than traditional CSS. The ecosystem (shadcn, daisyUI) seals it.

V4 is the fastest CSS framework to build with. No context switching between files, instant builds, and the design system constraints prevent spaghetti CSS. Industry standard for a reason.
