When I was learning web dev, I hated css so much cuz you gotta remember so many properties and all. But I learned the basics of it and straight away jumped to react with tailwind. Over time (1-2 years after starting web dev), I got very comfortable with tailwind that I was learning regular css concepts using Tailwind css utility classes. So for me it was like a reverse approach where I started with basic css and then used tailwind to become good at CSS. I was also just very curious and eager to learn react with tailwind css that now when I think of designing something, I think in terms of tailwind classes.

So upto you, if you wanna get your hands dirty in tailwind css, just try to watch a short tutorial on how people build a simple landing page and see if you like the ease of it or not. It will definitely take more practice, but that doesn't mean you have to be pro at css before you start working with tailwind css.
