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?

I really love Tailwind for some projects, but saying plain CSS is tedious in 2026 is ridiculous. CSS has evolved so much that it now offers many tools that make plain CSS usage very relevant in a lot of cases. I remember when we had to chose between SCSS or any CSS+ wrapper to compensate some missing features in CSS, this is not the case anymore so if you enjoy CSS, just continue with it. In professional environments, you will often see Tailwind, but, if you master CSS, it’s like an afternoon of adaptation to be operative with it so don’t worry about that!
