I think the second half of your statement disagrees with the first.

Much like saying, "there's never a need for Scratch, it's just a way for my kids to code fun things without worrying about semicolons."

		That's true about Scratch so what's the problem? You don't need to use Scratch if you learn the syntax of whatever language you desire to use. Tailwind is a design library for people who don't want to learn or write CSS. They don't technically need it.

What's the insult? Tailwind is specifically for people who don't like writing CSS because it avoids various ways CSS works and comes with predefined styles.
