It’s a shady tactic and a real shame to see you try to discredit over 20+ years worth of work. The real measure of progress is meaningful improvements, stability, and user feedback, not raw version counts. But if you are counting, Elements has had over 80 releases in the past year, with plenty more on the horizon.
We’ve contributed to open-source in the past, but right now our focus is on building and supporting commercial products like Classic and Elements. That work is every bit as valuable because it delivers tools people can rely on to run their websites and businesses. Suggesting otherwise is simply unfair.
Tailwind isn’t a “bad choice” for small or medium websites. Quite the opposite, because it only ships the CSS you actually use, sites stay lean, fast, and free of bloat. That’s exactly what you want on small/medium projects. And in Elements, the complexity is completely abstracted away.
Frameworks may come and go, but web standards remain, and that’s exactly what Elements is built on. Elements outputs clean, standards-based HTML, CSS, and JS. Tailwind is simply the framework we leverage under the hood because it’s efficient and modern.
Our focus is on giving users the best tools for the modern web.
