No at the end you end up having to learn all their classes, for almost no gain in speed of dev, and then you forget how to do stuff in CSS.

For me Tailwind barely make it anything faster but I have to learn all their classes and then I am stuck to have to relearn CSS when their is custom stuff. Maybe for greenfield or MVP sure. But if you are on a big project you have one or more designers and 99% of the time you have things that needs to be customized.




> then you forget how to do stuff in CSS

This is completely nonsensical because Tailwind classes are almost all just shorthand aliases for single CSS properties. You cannot use Tailwind without understanding CSS; it is CSS.


Re working with designers: that's why the tailwind config exists.
