r/webdev on Reddit: What is Utility-First CSS?
The best tools base themselves on the cascading nature of CSS and enhance how we go about it, not try to replace it entirely, say it's all wrong, and add layers of unnecessary abstraction with mangled APIs (see the php parsedown @apply example in the article, I've been guilty of this sort of thing myself). In the end, there is a lot of potential to improve and simplify our CSS architecture. This is what I get most from this article, and Heydon's other writings. ... Found this article equally thought provoking and hilarious. Heydon's writings are great :) ... Tailwind basically does utility classes for you, but they were around for a long time before tailwind packaged them in a fancy wrapper.
