> The truth of the matter is that as much as the idea of separation of html vs css sounds good

So why not just use <center> and <font>? That was my immediate thought the first time I saw Tailwind HTML: it's the HTML1 tags, but they are now attribute values.



...because they don't compose as well?

But you are correct. The idea of functional css libraries is to go back to putting presentational information in the html. And the justification is that it is a better approach when you are building a webapp with a component library.


for one thing, they are not responsive.
