unocss VS vite-plugin-vue-layouts

I wish tailwind would support attributify like https://github.com/unocss/unocss, which is much more readable for complex layouts:

I feel the same about people praising Tailwind.

Tailwind (and similar, I tend to use https://unocss.dev/) is not good for your frontend architecture BUT they allow you to be so fast, that it negates the benefits.

For a job well done, I'd follow the principles of https://maintainablecss.com/

I think UnoCss is may be better than Tailwind already and has a good Vue integration https://unocss.dev/

The most popular tools that implement this approach are: Tailwind, WindiCSS, UnoCSS.

haha, fair point. Still, I'm on the fence about how utility components are namespaced in USWDS. Perhaps giving users the flexibility to define the namespace might work better? One thing that bugs me is the absence of class-sorting like we have in TailwindCSS. Plus, there are some gaps I've noticed in USWDS. The naming, especially when comparing "padding-x-2" and "p-x-2", can be really annoying when switching around, maybe that could also be an option for the developer or project. Similar to the ideas antfu has on uno.css https://unocss.dev/ ♥

UnoCSS is a popular option

UnoCSS — for styling with Tailwind-like atomic CSS;

Some exceptional libraries and frameworks only support VSCode, which you could argue is a bad thing, but it makes sense, VSCode is the most popular code editor after all. For example UnoCSS only has a VSCode extension, and it's my favourite way to write CSS. Astro has a LSP but I've found that the experience in VSCode is much better than in Neovim.

I recently came across this and find it super easy to use: https://github.com/JohnCampionJr/vite-plugin-vue-layouts

So when using Vue we don't particularly have a layout system either unless you're using something like Nuxt or Vite Plugin Vue Layouts both of which abstract the problem away with some magic. Unfortunately, Nuxt doesn't have fantastic JSX/TSX support with Nuxt3 as of yet and the Vite Plugin is currently only designed to handle Single File Components (SFCs), so for a JSX/TSX user such as myself this is untenable.
