I vehemently disagree. When you're using tailwind, you're learning Tailwind, which is using CSS in absolutely the unequivocally anti-CSS way.

CSS was meant to cascade; it's what the damn 'C' stands for, and if you cannot understand the efficiency of the cascade, at scale, you are most definitely missing the entire point of CSS.

I have personally built ui libraries for boutique firms and enterprise (Apple) firms and guess what we did _not_ use in any of those instances? Tailwind. Because it's an utter toddler to manage and very definitely not efficient in its application.
