a very underrated feature of Tailwind is it's excellent documentation with immediate search. Want italic text? In straight CSS, how long will it take to look up is it font-style: italic; or text-style: italic or text-italic: true ? Tailwind's docs make it virtually instant. Even more impressive with flex and grid layouts (is it justify-items or align-items, etc). I find that Tailwind reduces the time from "idea in brain" to "implemented on page" by about 90%, now multiply that by dozens or hundreds of individual page elements. (to be fair, I don't do a ton of front end so I forget the CSS syntax quite often)

This is the worst "feature" ever.

What's the point in spending 20 hours learning some custom interface that's only used in like 5% of projects and will probably be gone in 5 years, when you could spend 30 hours learning the standard that's been around for decades and understand every library for years to come?

Just learn CSS, it's not that hard.

You... don't? Spend 20 hours learning, that is

I never sat down for hours to learn it. I just started using it. Most of the classes were very intuitive with a working knowledge of the box model. For anything else I just searched the docs or even better, got the VSCode plugin to suggest the correct one

It's not a custom interface. It's just classes. It's got a type of syntax, sure, especially for media queries but it's not much different than "learning" the classes from bootstrap

It's literally just CSS but abstracted as convenient classes as the name "utility classes" implies already. I don't understand why people keep telling others to learn CSS instead. I also hate dealing and writing CSS cause it's cumbersome and unwieldy and this is a much better way of styling my HTML and getting immediate feedback
