As an older dev, I think it's a great natural evolution.

We had css, then SASS/LESS/etc, now Tailwind.

In the days of just CSS people would create variables/functions for their CSS in their server side language & have the server side language create the CSS. SASS/LESS allowed us to do that in stylesheets.

Now we have Tailwind (and of course CSS variables). Tailwind (and the code editor plugin devs) have done an amazing job at making a great workflow to handle CSS, especially in component type UI designs.

* Shout out to Foundation and Bootstrap for also helping us get to where we are today. Foundation is underrated in the history.
