Most Tailwind debates pit Tailwind’s utility-first approach against outdated CSS workflows—comparing today’s tool against yesterday’s problems. The result? A rigged comparison that naturally favors Tailwind.
But here’s what’s missing from that debate: the development environment has changed and so has CSS. Modern visual development tools and proper CSS methodologies have evolved far beyond the monolithic stylesheet era that made Tailwind so appealing when it was first introduced.
In this article, we’re doing an apples-to-apples comparison: Tailwind against BEM-based CSS within a modern visual development environment (a properly-architected “page builder”).
As you’ll see, when you actually level the playing field, the picture becomes remarkably clearer. And you may find that the conclusions radically change.
