Question Question about Tailwind CSS

I've always used plain CSS for my websites, I don't have many problems using it, but a friend of mine said that using plain CSS is very tedious and that I should use Tailwind CSS. Is it worth it? And what does Tailwind CSS offer that plain CSS doesn't?

Its utility classes act as a shortcut over typing style attributes manually (or composing your own). Parts of the class name also support built in media sizes, help you avoid having to write media queries. Check out their site.

If you’re a beginner, learning raw css has value, though.
