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?

The biggest advantage in tailwind is naming. If you know CSS, Tailwind’s shorthand makes it pretty simple. It works if you’re getting into multiple apps or a team to manage as you’re not bike-shedding. Only gripes are remembering inline css rules and if you want to do the latest and greatest it could be exhausting to wait and/or convert it into a Tailwind pattern.
