I know a lot of people who have tried but didn't like Tailwind. I think most people like it on a greenfield project, but that number drops off when they go back to a Tailwind project after some time.

Tailwind projects are the only ones I've hopped into for my first time (i.e. never seen the codebase before) and I can immediately be productive cause I don't have to wrap my head around one specific person's ideas of how classes should work and what all the names mean.

Same applies for my own code that I come back to after a year or 2 of not having touched it. It's way easier to parse a template that declares its own styling than a template with references to style classes that may be across multiple CSS/SCSS files and are probably badly named

Meh everyone ultimately has a personal preference so it's a bit hyperbole to say that everyone that hasn't used it would like it.

Just like everything, it would depend on the project, team, and individual.

I personally was against it until I used it.
