The CSS / Utility hybrid approach with Tailwind v4

How to reinventing SCSS and mixins without saying you’re reinventing SCSS and mixins

Really. On each new update I’m more and more convinced that reject using Tailwind was and is a good decision.
For example:
&quot;Classes as components
Tailwind has always recommended using a component system for your UI components … like buttons, badges, links.
You can use Tailwind CSS with the @apply directive or traditional class definitions for this:
.badge {
@apply inline-flex items-center gap-x-1.5 rounded-md py-0.5 text-sm/5 font-medium sm:text-xs/5;
}
&lt;span class=“badge badge–yellow”&gt;Warning&lt;/span&gt;
&quot;
What is exactly what you do defining your (S)CSS without using Tailwind. Awesome, a new re-invented wheel, but now adding complexity by missing approaches!!

No matter how many times I tell myself I am going to stick to pure tailwind on my next project, I always end up hybrid.
