I get the authors intent at angry humor (especially since it's a response to justfuckingusetailwind.com) but it does feel hypocritical.
I also think CSS frameworks will be here to stay so long as many of the big backend frameworks like Ruby on Rails and Elixir Phoenix use generators. If they're generating pages they may as well throw CSS in there, and I don't want them using custom CSS. If I'm building a static site though I certainly wouldn't use a framework, and I think the author is right in some regards
I agree about frameworks but I never considered TW to be a framework. It's a tool for generating utility classes, the fact it has basic spacing and colours never seemed frameworkish to me.
I don't really see people getting angry about utility-based css, just tailwind for some reason.
