Reviewer scorecard
“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.”
“50x faster than ESLint with zero config. Catches the most impactful lint rules without the plugin complexity.”
“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.”
“The speed makes linting instantaneous in editors and CI. The focused rule set means less noise than full ESLint.”
“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.”
“Rust-based linting joins SWC, Rspack, and Biome in the JavaScript Rust toolchain revolution.”
