Why developers choose boodoo over Tailwind

Tailwind CSS is fantastic for custom utility design, but it requires a Javascript framework, a bundler pipeline, and custom HTML for every UI component. boodoo gives you Tailwind-style utilities combined with pre-styled Bootstrap components and Material Design elevation, ready to drop in via CDN or npm with zero build overhead.
