- compare the tailwind example and yours, they don't have the same behavior. The tailwind one has a specific mobile menu for example. And that is just one example.

- sure, but since the tailwind page does more things, it's logical it has more code. Your base for comparison is production used code, sold to people. So of course it's polished, it must handle browser bugs and other things you might not expect in a quickly implemented alternative for a tech article. So I'm not surprised the code is bigger. That doesn't say at all that tailwind == more HTML tags :)

Tailwind example indeed does more, but only slightly. Would increase the size of CSS by 1-3%. The semantic version has clearly enough to prove the point the article attempts to make: significantly less code is needed and the resulting site is leaner & faster.

If you really want to compare code snippet sizes, you must offer the same functionality. Otherwise, the comparison is meaningless.

You did the exact same thing before when you compared the Headless UI combobox with your nue.js implementation. Offering fewer features will result in less code. Shocker.

Besides, I don't really care for these comparisons. If something is 2x longer code but more maintainable, it is 100% worth it. Just because something is short doesn't make it better.
