Stephen Margheim (fractaledmind) wrote Affordances: The Missing Layer in Frontend Architecture this month. This quick post is my reply to his great article. I hear the objection already: “Isn’t this just… semantic CSS classes? We tried that.” You’re right that we tried it. But “it didn’t work” deserves unpacking. I was indeed objecting that in my mind. But I was not thinking, "it didn't work." I was thinking, "and it has kept working for decades. Obviously the utility-only workflow described is terrible; it's why I refuse to choose Tailwind.
