There are some nice aspects: - The classes cover many common use-cases and, in some cases, present a simpler "API" than hand-rolled CSS would - You can eyeball a HTML fragment and get a good idea of how the pieces fit together, compared to the normal approach of needing to work out what each individual class does, and then how they fit together. It's easy to remember what the Tailwind classes are doing. - It's dumb, but the ability copy-and-paste entire HTML fragments from one place to another and have the styling "just work" is slightly mind-blowing - Some CSS attributes work oddly depending on the order in which they are applied, or the order of the composition of classes that both attempt to apply the same attribute, and that problem goes away with Tailwind There are other advantages, but these were all quite surprising to me, because my expectations of CSS have always been quite low.
