Note that the Tailwind team strongly anti-recommends @apply and regrets ever putting it in there. As for creating utility classes, well, those are still utility classes. If you do semantic classes then you are fighting against the philosophy of Tailwind as detailed in the Refactoring UI book.
The most authoritative form of documentation that part of a system is considered a serious design flaw and should not be used in new code, is on xitter?
I'm sure new users of the system will find that. Great job everyone.
> If you’re going to use @apply, use it for very small, highly reusable things like buttons and form controls — and even then only if you’re not using a framework like React where a component would be a better choice.
Personally I think @apply is a useful tool - and I'm not sold on it being always evil.
