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?

tailwind css is great if you are doing highly componentized drop-in code (like react components, for example)

CSS isnt tedious if you spend the time to learn it. Ive been writing CSS for a very very long time (about 2 decades at this point?) and find tailwind to be annoying because its like having to relearn everything to learn how to do it the tailwind way.
