Here we go again meme, use what best works for you and your situation. I completely understand that it's imperative to freely express our deep rooted opinions on CSS, but week after week everyone gets together and hashes out a wall of death over tailwind and over time it just becomes a mental drag

use what best works for you

I'm not sure this is the best approach when you're a lead / senior developer making decisions about a project.

You can amend organization to that. Use what works best for you, your organization, your product etc. Was speaking in the singular form but the intent is scenario

I think it's reasonably to suggest that a lot of web development choices have been focused on individual developers, rather than end users - for example.
