I don't personally care for Tailwind, but I get the reasoning why people gravitate towards it: just as modern JS moved away from inheritance to composition, so is CSS. There's a fundamental argument that inheritance is a mirage and things in large projects become much simpler with composition-based approaches. You don't really need to grok the inheritance chain with Tailwind in the same way you do typical CSS. For my personal projects I'd continue writing my own CSS... but for teams, I'd go to Tailwind without a second thought.
