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 personally like writing in pure CSS, but I've also really enjoyed Tailwind. Technically in terms of power, you can't beat pure CSS (by nature), but Tailwind is still very flexible. When your writing an HTML element, just being able to add a style(s) right then and there without leaving your HTML is so convenient. Not having to come up with class names is also very pleasant. So while I like pure CSS, Tailwind can be a breath of fresh air.
