I've been building websites since they were invented and I agree completely. CSS itself has evolved to the point where you are worse off if you use a pre-compiler or alternative. In one sense, it was always worse to use Tailwind because if you don't learn "real" CSS you won't be able to fix anything that's broken -- and with CSS, there's always a lot that's broken.
