The [tailwind docs still use require](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/font-family#customizing-the-default-font), even all of the official plugins still use require in their docs.

So at the moment it seems very difficult / impossible to do anything fancy with tailwind and Bud when you’re not proficient in ES modules. [I cannot figure out](https://discourse.roots.io/t/tailwind-config-js-and-require-vs-import-es6/27914) how to access tailwind defaultTheme variables with Bud.

I also have lots of custom tailwind plugins that work for old versions of sage and all versions of Laravel, yet they don’t work for bud. I can’t figure out how to convert them.
