This study compares two websites with similar design: the commercial Spotlight template from developers of Tailwind vs the same site with semantic CSS.

    But you didn’t use the word normal / plain / vanilla. You used proper, which is a loaded word.

        That is not true. You do need to know CSS to make proper use of Tailwind for anything beyond changing colors and padding. That’s the reason why the Intellisense VS Code extension gives the underlying CSS on hover. I’d love to see a newbie try content layout knowing nothing but Tailwind.

        Please just use the original title. Semantic CSS is an actual thing and it takes 2 seconds to google what it is.

        You could just as easily use the article’s title and save your opinions for the post body or the comments, but you didn’t.

        Oh no, implicit bias. Twice!
