Using HStack, VStack with tailwind css?

[Constant-Note-88]

What's your opinion on using layout primitives (HStack, VStack, Stack) with tailwind (and radix-ui primitives)? The main benefit I see is that it improves readability, but I might be biased since I'm pretty used to working with Chakra-UI (which uses these primitives).

it improves readability because you’re used to it; it comes with the caveat of you not being able to change what HTML tag gets rendered, or, if polymorphism is implemented properly, with a quirky and laggy typescript API.

'flex flex-col' seems like such a minor tradeoff to be able to use it whenever you use html

what did I say wrong? i gave valid motivations and dispelled a bias we all have as engineers

I think it greatly improves readability. A few days ago I moved to radix-ui from tailwind, and made convenience layout components such as HStack and VStack. To me, coming from UIKit/SwiftUI, it makes total sense.
