Writing and maintaining clear concise CSS for a large application requires serious effort. It usually fails fast as the design grows and changes and a larger team tries to work on the codebase.

This falls down to the old "it depends" slogan. Tailwind is a great way to scale a your css with a larger codebase / team while semantic CSS will give you a smaller tighter stylesheet and cleaner html for that single handcoded landingpage or blog.

Also the download cost of tailwind falls as the size of the app grows and each utilityclass is used in more contexts.
