(Seriously I just started a new project with TailwindCSS and I’m so confused. But not entirely desperate yet.)
So what is the point of these frameworks if they make it harder?

People who don’t understand how to do a task will usually choose the wrong tools for that task.
If someone is trying to cover up their lack of knowledge, they will usually make things more complicated than they need to be.
w-... mx-auto, replace the 3 dots with your desired width value, and that’s it with tailwind
