If you put all that time into learning the tailwind shorthand then you're fucked on the next project that doesn't use it.
Personally I'd prefer to not have to re-learn how to style things on every damn project just because some noobs that have to pay the learning cost anyway think they've found some 5% efficiency with some shit library.
Do you also not learn new programming languages for fear of not using them on the next project? Your words are really aggressive. Try to have a more open mind.
