Why I Switched to Tailwind CSS
I was a skeptic. "Why would I want to pollute my HTML with classes?" I thought. But after trying Tailwind CSS on a real project, I never looked back.
The Speed Factor
The immediate benefit of Tailwind is speed. You don't have to context switch between your HTML/JSX file and a separate CSS file. You style right where you markup.
Constraints Breed Creativity
Tailwind provides a constrained set of values (spacing, colors, typography). This might sound restrictive, but it actually helps maintain consistency across your design.
Maintainability
With traditional CSS, you often end up with append-only stylesheets. You're afraid to delete a class because you don't know what it breaks. With Tailwind, styles are local to the element. If you delete the element, the style is gone.
Conclusion
Tailwind isn't just about utility classes; it's about a workflow that prioritizes speed, consistency, and maintainability.
