I think "regrets putting it in there" is a bit strong - I'd be interested in a quote.

That said, the documentation does lean heavily away from @apply:

https://tailwindcss.com/docs/reusing-styles#extracting-class...

> If you’re going to use @apply, use it for very small, highly reusable things like buttons and form controls — and even then only if you’re not using a framework like React where a component would be a better choice.

Personally I think @apply is a useful tool - and I'm not sold on it being always evil.
