I do think there are problems in Laravel and Tailwind CSS as frameworks and tools, but I mostly avoid those because their respective authors are good buddies with DHH and are showing no signs of cutting ties or questioning his views or actions.

It's hard to sell simple, because simple looks easy, and who wants to pay for that? Of course, everyone says they want something simple, but the way they buy reveals that they usually don't.
