Well also bootstrap "died" in the most honorable way possible, it got antiquated by its core selling points getting integrated into the CSS standard through flex and grids (the original specification was based on XUL though and not bootstrap - https://medium.com/@BennyOgidan/history-of-css-grid-and-css-flexbox-658ae6cfe6d2) Kind of the same with jquery I feel like Tailwind won't get that.

Tailwind UI

As a primarily backend person, I like it that our frontend uses tailwind due to the copy-and-pastable aspect. I can nab an element from another part of the site and adapt, or take an element from https://tailwindui.com/ and know that it will paste in and look exactly as intended. It doesn't look good, or particularly inline with the style of the rest of the site but is good enough as placeholder UI before frontend/design can come in and tidy it up. I do constantly shudder though when reading a list of class names like this: > fixed inset-y-0 right-0 z-50 w-full overflow-y-auto bg-white px-6 py-6 sm:max-w-sm sm:ring-1 sm:ring-gray-900/10 https://tailwindui.com/components/marketing/sections/heroes.

DaisyUI

Next up, improve usability and consistency with tailwind by making component classes via things like https://daisyui.com/. Then you realize you can just use the classes with css and forgo the tailwind Middleware. Then we'll be back where we started.
