I'm using Tailwind mainly because it came installed by default with create-react-router-app, and it seemed easier to just go with the flow (this is my first web project in about 10 years, so I'm re-learning everything), rather than trying to come up with my own bespoke thing.

After learning it a bit, I liked Tailwind. Writing CSS manually sucks. It's fiddly, and often you have to sit around adding and changing random things until it looks the way you want, and you have no idea why what you did worked. Tailwind doesn't completely fix that, but it makes it significantly better.

But I don't feel like building my own components from scratch. That's where DaisyUI comes in to make my day easier. But if I want to override any of DaisyUI's choices, I have Tailwind's easier-to-use classes that I can use to easily do so.
