TLDR: I've written a moderately complex app using Tailwind and only had to write 33 lines of CSS. I've been using Tailwind to build a moderately complex app, and for me the killer feature of Tailwind is that _most of the time I don't have to think in CSS_. It's not that I can't think in CSS - I've written lots of CSS over the years. However, as someone putting together a UI, I want to think in terms of slightly higher-level constructs. With Tailwind I almost never need to think about specific pixels values, weird browser quirks, or how breakpoints are handled. Instead, I can think almost entirely about how to achieve the correct behaviour. I work with ClojureScript so I have hot reloading and fast feedback, and I can build a moderately complex UI component in a few hours. Not having to context-switch into CSS really helps me to stay in "flow". If there's some very specific design feature that I need, then I can still write some custom CSS, but this is sufficiently rare that in a 10k SLOC project there are 33 lines of hand-written CSS.
