While Bootstrap certainly abstracts CSS away for you in a way that you can get by without knowing much about CSS (for simple things), Tailwind is just tokenized CSS. You can't use Tailwind without knowing CSS or learning CSS in the process.

That feels pretty lean and simple to me.

Disagree. Tailwind abstracts lots of CSS away; you can get away with using it with only having a surface level understanding of CSS.

As we know, a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing, especially in web development.

The problem with tailwind is it does away with separation of concerns and messes up HTML, like the old styling tags in HTML. We moved on from those for good reasons.

It really isn’t the same as inline styles at all. It’s the best of both worlds, in my opinion. It’s hard to see myself ever going back to the old ways.
