Well using square brackets is kinda not preferred with Tailwind. You'd rather use something like `bg-blue-400`. And even from your example you see that you are writing less styles. I agree that going outside what Tailwind provides is kinda non-optimal but in general it provides nice building blocks that makes keeping the design consistent easier. I was in the Tailwind is dumb camp also until I tried it. Then I realized I can ship my own prototypes faster because I wont waste time fine-tuning margins or picking colors. It isn't perfect of course but nice when speed is your top-priority.
