> find and replace works fine

It would replace every `.font-extrabold` element on the page.

What if I only want to update my extra bold headlines, not the extra bold subheadings? Global search-and-replace breaks my subheadings.

Yep. There's so many global replace situations where the logic completely breaks.

In my experience global replace is much easier across multiple component files rather than multiple CSS files. If I need to do change a font color I do a search and know to change it based on the file/component it's used in. If I had to change the color in css files I'd have to review the class and also track down where that class is in use.
