Today's comiCSS cartoon:

cartoon with CSS saying Many complain about how difficult I am, but I want to prove I'm easy and versatile. To show... The Many Faces of CSS (because changing styles is my thing). Vanilla: new CSS logo. nealoapolitan: yellow, brown and pink logo. Dark: logo that looks like batman. Kawaii: cute pinkish logo. 3D: logo with lights and shadows. Halloween: logo wearing a JS costume. Halloween 2: logo wearing a Tailwind mask. Vintage: the old CSS logo. Cubist: new CSS logo with multiple colors and all the letters in different spots

Why does everyone mock tailwind? It's a great toolset.

Short answer (for this particular case): this is a comic about CSS, poking fun at Tailwind is almost a given. But it's all in good fun.

But why? It's a very great toolset for large projects.

It is a little bit of many things. From a technical perspective, Tailwind has shortcomings (just like any other tool): steep learning curve, bloated HTML, readability and maintainability challenges, poor separation of concerns... But some of the reasons are not necessarily technical: its creators use some aggressive marketing and its community includes many obnoxious supporters who fail to see the tool's shortcomings and will defend Tailwind as the panacea for web styling, when it isn't. It's just a tool, like many others. Used correctly, it will be great; used poorly, it will be terrible... Just like any other tool.
