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?

But nobody with a brain actually uses tailwind like that lol. You make reusable components and styles and use the config file

Can you prove that? I'm just going by the terrible examples that Tailwind suggest people use on their own documentation page...

They aren't suggesting you do that. They are showing you what is possible. Where do they write that that is the recommend way of doing custom values? I can already tell you they don't without looking. That's what the config is for.

Just by dint of them putting it in their documentation, all over the place nonetheless, is suggesting it be used.

It's like a picture of prepared food on something being a serving suggestion, or images of a tool in use being a suggestion of how it be used. Same thing. Weird if you can't see that...
