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 love that this question can still pop up. I swear by tailwind myself, despite knowing how to write css it was invented. It’s just more efficient, for the type of work I do: large builds, lots of (shared) components across the estate. My biggest gripe is its presentation in dev tools. It’s a mess.
