I was of your opinion until I tried it. Been using it for over a year on my current project, now.

I recently built a little prototype without using Tailwind, and man… I didn’t realize how big a quality of life improvement Tailwind is until I stopped using it. It’s really hard to imagine going back.

Edit: I’ve been building websites since 2000, and know CSS quite well, and hope to never write much CSS again.

Agreed - they even include almost at the top of their homepage [1] a quote from the creator which includes: "If you can suppress the urge to retch long enough to give it a chance, I really think you’ll wonder how you ever worked with CSS any other way."

That's what you're missing. Try it.

You should give it a shot, but IMO what makes it worth it is the Tailwind Intellisense plugin. I can design an element in just a few keystrokes, it's amazing.
