I gave Tailwind a shot but ultimately settled with Bootstrap. It wasn't because Tailwind was bad-- I thought it provided a lot of value. The issues that ultimately made me switch to Bootstrap were:

1. I don't need a build tool for JS/CSS, so introducing one _just_ for Tailwind was a pain.

2. In order to really take advantage of Tailwind and speed up development, you need the Tailwind vim plugin (which doesn't work in vanilla Vim, only Neovim from what I can tell.. I don't use Neovim).

3. The html gets bloated pretty bad and it does get hard to read.. especially without the extra tooling like the Tailwind plugin to sort class names, auto complete Tailwind class names, etc.
