A design question if I may. Site states "gives developers without a deep understanding of design the ability to build visually gorgeous, modern user interfaces".

I really don't understand this statement. If you are bad/good at design, how does Tailwind change anything? Can anyone please describe what it is/feels like in comparison?

Tailwind is a system for design. It constrains what options the designer has to work with. This means both less chances to get things wrong and a smaller domain to wrap your head around.

Tailwind is configured out of the box by some very excellent designers. The color palette, fonts, spacing, etc. are all crafted to work together harmoniously. You have to go out of your way to configure it poorly.

So it's a _designed_ system then ;)

It kinda doesn’t, it’s nonsense really. They’ve got good examples though (see TailwindUI) and you can directly copy html which includes the css classes and you’ll get their design exactly.
