Some frontend developers know the BEM methodology as a naming convention for CSS and they create a disgusting #webcomponents. I've explain the essence of BEM and shown the benefits for your frontend projects.

Feel free to share it with a people who tells you "i use CSS-modules, so i no needs a BEM"

BEM is are methodology about atomic code design, it gives you a standards and guides how to simplify code maintaining.

Isn't this also what Tailwind, UNOCSS and the likes about?
Sounds like he have a problem where working in project using BEM, different team use it in different way (which I think as what to expect). And when components are involved, is CSS convention really the focus here?

edit: ok, I think I finally got your point...
How does BEM differ from OOCSS, AMCSS, SMACSS, SUITCSS?
Well... this thing feels like frontend framework with extra step.

If you think a Object Oriented Programming is a framework, then you can think about BEM like a framework too. But a correct word is a methodology. A "framework" have too generic meaning.

Methodology gives us a methods how to improve software quality. This methods like an interfaces in programming that we must implement as programmers

I see. I might have done things in similar way without realizing what it is by just focusing on decoupling and reusability.
