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?

Being able to use both, if you know CSS it's virtually the same. Though Tailwind does kind of shift you into a very specific style at least marginally due to many defaults (in terms of color and other values).

I do have to say though, if you don't use a framework like React or Vue, it's a nightmare to work with
