I'm confused as to this author's proposed alternative, they don't like tailwind - so go use Vue? Apples to oranges, what about people using HTML + CSS markup without the overhead of a javascript framework? What's the alternative then?
In all honestly, I just couldn't care less about "web craftsmanship", I have bigger problems to focus on than today's incredibly messy DOM. Bootstrap allows me to quickly represents my designer's design system through an set of hammers (classes) that allow me to quickly convert work, plus with modern flex styling I really don't run into complex DOM rendering issues anymore that would require me to really dive into the styling and debug.
