I have used tailwind and tachyons and they are fine. I do winder though it seems like you end up being stuck with them. How would you migrate to traditional CSS without effectively rewriting all of your css?

I also wonder if it is necessary still with css modules and the fact web frameworks allow for scoped css per component.

Tailwind is just CSS so there's no lock-in to speak of and no migration necessary. If you had a specific instance where Tailwind wasn't a good fit you can just hand-write as needed.

Sure, if you wanted to stop using Tailwind altogether you would have a lot of rewriting to do but I'm not sure how that's uniquely different or worse than, say, migrating a project from React to Angular.
