It argues that vanilla CSS has become more capable through features such as custom properties, CSS Grid, and CSS nesting, while TailwindCSS remains popular for reducing style conflicts and discouraging arbitrary values.

### AI overview

A guide to fixing an Atom Babel plugin issue where variables in ES6 template strings are not highlighted. It provides an Atom style.less snippet that styles JavaScript variables and explains how to inspect Atom's element classes for additional CSS or LESS customizations.

### Source excerpt

Atom Babel plugin doesn't highlight variables in ES6 (ES2015) template strings. You'll need to add this snippet to your Atom's style.less atom-text-editor::shadow .variable.js { color: #F8F8F2; } In general, you can just inspect stuff in Atom, find out what classes element are using, and then style it via CSS (LESS). Just don't forget to add atom-text-editor::shadow before your rules. If anyone is interested, I'm using Monokai Seti theme.

### AI overview

A tutorial describing how the author added Turbolinks to a Jekyll site by obtaining and compiling its JavaScript, integrating it with other assets, and addressing issues involving styles, Twitter buttons, Disqus loading, and progress indicators.

### Source excerpt

I think that turbolinks is great: it makes it easy to add AJAX PushState to your Rails Applications. The only problem with that is that we can't use it any WEB application, because it's a Ruby Gem. So I did some ugly-but-easy hacks and add it to this very site. I will describe the steps below.
