UnoCSS vs. Tailwind

Let's say we want to make a couple of simple buttons that fill with a color from left to right on hover.

Buttons

Tailwind:

<div className='[&_button]:bg-gradient-to-r [&_button]:bg-[length:210%] [&_button]:bg-right
[&_button]:from-amber-600 [&_button]:from-50% [&_button]:to-white [&_button]:to-50% 
  [&_button]:transition-300 [&_button]:transition-all [&_button]:border-2 
  [&_button]:border-solid [&_button]:border-amber-600 [&_button]:text-amber-600 
  [&_button]:px-5 [&_button]:py-2 [&_button]:mx-2 [&_button:hover]:bg-left 
[&_button:hover]:text-white'>
  <button>BUTTON 1</button>
  <button>BUTTON 2</button>
</div>

Tailwind, if repeating the code for each button:

<div>
  <button className='bg-gradient-to-r bg-[length:210%] bg-right from-amber-600 from-50% 
  to-white to-50% transition-300 transition-all border-2 border-solid border-amber-600 
  text-amber-600 px-5 py-2 mx-2 hover:bg-left hover:text-white'>BUTTON 1</button>
  <button className='bg-gradient-to-r bg-[length:210%] bg-right from-amber-600 from-50% 
  to-white to-50% transition-300 transition-all border-2 border-solid border-amber-600 
  text-amber-600 px-5 py-2 mx-2 hover:bg-left hover:text-white'>BUTTON 2</button>
</div>

UnoCSS:

<div className='[&_button]:(bg-(gradient-to-r [length:210%] right) from-(amber-600 50%) 
  to-(white 50%) transition-(300 all) b-(2 solid amber-600) text-amber-600 px-5 py-2
  hover:(bg-left text-white))'>
  <button>BUTTON 1</button>
  <button>BUTTON 2</button>
</div>

This also works with responsive screen sizes (use lt-sm for phone size).
