“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
