A huge amount of the anti-#tailwindcss rhetoric seems to focus around 2 points:

1. I'm an expert in CSS and can write it better than a framework.
2. If I'm not writing CSS anymore, then what am I actually doing?

Both of those points are deeply flawed. Here's why (a thread)... Let's focus on that first point.

"I'm an expert and can write it better than a framework."

You're wrong. Let's just get that out of the way to start.

I think we will look back at 2017 and see it as the year the #WordPress project started to fracture. As much as the community desperately wants to see WordPress as an enterprise CMS, projects like #Gutenberg show it is anything but. Gutenberg is a phenomenal piece of software and everyone involved in it should be proud of what they have achieved. But we also shouldn't be afraid to call it what it is. It's a move toward WordPress being a site builder.
