People really do sell Tailwind as if it’s a Bootstrap-like framework. I think that’s why so many sites (see: most startups) have a very similar “Tailwind look” now - everybody wants to use Tailwind because it’s hip, but nobody actually wants to write styles if they can help it, so they just copy-paste a very basic rounded-border-plus-shadow style onto all their components and call it a day. It’s a little better than the “Bootstrap look” because at least it doesn’t come with a default accent color that nobody will ever change, but man, it’s not that much better.


As a programmer (not a designer) I like tailwind bc I can keep my styles and markup in the same file.

It’s a nice workflow.

Idk what the “tailwind look” is. Tailwind is basically a bunch of css classes with a single rule per.

I bet lots of startups are just using shadcn or something like it, which are bootstrap type big design frameworks
