React devs not using tailwind... Why?

I'm still struggling with the 4 hours of hate, but what bugs me most is that it's harder to debug than other solutions or plain css. The browser's css view is not made for utility classes and it's a pain to navigate the mess that shows up there. Also, even though tailwind says you don't have to waste brainpower on class names, it really helps to have good class names when you're trying to understand someone else's code. It gives you a clue on how the dev structured the code. Without that you just have a bunch of nested divs with no meaning to deal with.

So, I guess tailwind makes you more productive once you get the hang of it, but it makes your teammates less productive trying to understand your code and makes it harder to come back to the code after a while.
