I may be short-sighted because I like to ship fast, but enlighten me: Have you found any downsides of introducing Tailwind to your project? In my long experience, you end up re-implementing the same utility classes yourself (which is a huge waste of time) and often not as well as experts like the TW team.

I’m a big proponent of Chakra UI because I prefer style props over TW classes Similar DX just think Chakra is more readable and makes it easier to create composable components.

I guess the major downside with TW is the long class strings you end up with.

IMO it's not apples-to-apples: it looks like Chakra is a higher level of abstraction (similar to MUI), whereas tw is a tiny abstraction. The real comparison would be TW vs rolling your own classes (which eventually start looking really close to TW, so what's the point?)
