Same here. The CSS that each Tailwind class corresponds to is very visible in the documentation itself.

Have you reached a stage where you no longer feel its a good idea or are you sticking with it?

I considered using it for a few projects but once I start I feel it too much work with no payoff.

This has been my experience as well. Tailwind is a good pair of support wheels, but it gets annoying after a while, and is difficult to maintain long-term.
