Bootstrap and Tailwind are very different, though newer versions of Bootstrap do have more utility classes like Tailwind.

Bootstrap provides pre-made visual components, which are useful for getting stuff built quickly but can be a huge pain to tweak (e.g. you want 99% of the styles but just need the padding to be slightly different in one instance).

Tailwind provides no pre-made visual components, but instead provides a sensible design system to keep things consistent, and either a much more pleasant and scalable way to write CSS, or a horrible class soup, depending on your opinion of utility classes.

Thanks, that's a really clear answer. Now it's got me scratching my head. I like not having to make a lot of decisions, hence my affinity toward BS. But TW might be worth a spin.
