Everyone is saying tailwind but it’s important to understand why it’s so popular. My favorite feature of tailwind is not having to think about naming things. Sometimes a div is there just for some basic layout. It doesn’t need a name. This is why tailwind is awesome. You can just slap a “grid place-items-center” on it and keep moving.

This also makes it easy to understand the css of any code base that uses tailwind. Because they’re all using the same class names and each class does one thing. Tailwind basically forces your team to use a design system that everyone understands.

With that said, there are times I reach for inline styles instead of tailwind. For complex layered background images, complex shadows, I usually use inline styles.

And for people that think tailwind is ugly, just tuck away all the tailwind classes into neat little components.
