Meh, probably is an example of a no-true-scotsman. A better way to word it would be to say that not many of the Tailwind codebases I've seen have styles of that

Meh, probably is an example of a no-true-scotsman. A better way to word it would be to say that not many of the Tailwind codebases I've seen have styles of that length, except for on choice elements where most of the classes are overwriting default styling (such as on inputs). You literally defended CSS in a similar way in your post "The cascade, selector chaining (see above), and specificity are all very powerful tools. If you misunderstand them, yeah you can cut yourself. Just like if you don't use a saw properly you can cut yourself.". In the same sense, just because some people write super long Tailwind classes doesn't mean that you can extrapolate that to all Tailwind classes.
