every time I see tailwind-esque classnames and divs in divs in divs I sigh in disappointment

I have always used classnames/clsx, but I didn't know that Svelte essentially supports that pattern natively!!

I still think what gql.tada/GraphQLSP achieves is ahead of its time. Being able to give verifiable rules for an embedded DSL at all times.
Imagine this working for classNames, cross-referencing dom ids,…
Could help avoid a lot of issues

I’d copied it from a repo that had tailwind, and mine didn’t. took about 15 seconds. with descriptive classnames and everything. this shit is so good.

classnames vs clsx – Dlaczego przesiadłam się na clsx
Przez lata używałam classnames do warunkowego łączenia klas CSS w projektach React. Działało, nie narzekałam. Ale ostatnio trafiłam na clsx i szczerze?

I've seen this ridiculous framework some months ago. So why don't tell everyone that Tailwind bloats your HTML and this could be reason to avoid it? Instead they create a "framework on top of it".
It's all about marketing, I guess.
Semantic classnames combined with utility classes: Bootstrap :-)

I re-gave the React compiler a try
Rolldown build time went from 1.5s to 17s 😭
Main bundle went from 1M to 1.3M 😱
I'm diffing the bundle and one reason seems to be that the compiler rewrite calls to my classNames util 🤦♂️

Is there any way to debug what classnames Tailwind finds in what source files, in particular to find out why it hasn't found some specific classnames 🤨 Feel like I've tried every combination of path in my @source now

In React + Tailwind apps, conditional classes (clsx or classnames) help you toggle styling based on state, keeping your components clean. #ReactJS #TailwindCSS

genuinely tailwind would be less worse than the bsky special because at least the classnames have a "meaning" instead of being just a hash of the used styles ON TOP OF, for some fucking reason, inlining styles everywhere, wasting even more in the process

Implemented atomic CSS when extracting in styled-ppx
bundle-size for atomic CSS vs not atomic CSS for a 200 pages site is insane
Each page increases the bundle for all page's styles (all classnames must be pushed). In atomic, the increase is just "the new properties" (if any)

if your classnames get too crazy you can always fall back to (s)css. utility classes actually turn out be a pretty good way of using css in most cases though! tiny tiny CSS bundles, and everything colocated. but it can definitely get out of hand

...Okay the gnome components library is very helpful for a few reasons not the least of which being "hey, here's some links to classnames and stuff for gtk and adawaita"
All of which probably sounds very confusing to most folks, but trust me, will be a special tool to help me later.

Luke-warm boomer take of 2026: I still don’t particularly like how Tailwind makes my markup look. It feels a bit like inlined styles.
There’s also something to be said for beautiful, semantic, handcrafted markup and classnames.
But, I am getting gray hairs so am undoubtedly set in my ways.

"Tailwind has finally jumped the shark and has added essentially all of CSS into classNames. This is no longer atomic CSS, and developers will abuse the hell out of this and run into all of the terrible problems." Ouch. #Opinion #CSS

it's tough, hey. Like I want to be able to check myself and be sure I have *good reason*. Like when I cringe at the sight of tailwind classnames and I think about the years of very good and very sound reasoning behind the separation of structure and style, replaced by pure dev efficiency
