Maybe Tailwind is useful for bigger projects, but I tend to prefer component based class instead. The biggest DX for CSS is using the web inspector and directly modifying the DOM, then copying the adjusted values to the text editor. For a much serious project, I go with the balsamiq -> figma route to create an actual design system.
