Tailwind CSS is essentially a utility first CSS framework for quickly building custom user interfaces. It uses custom classes which have already been written. You just follow the documentation to scaffold your website.

Plain CSS on the other hand is just that. You have have to create everything from scratch. All of your classes and styles etc... It's a clean slate and you have 100% freedom whereas Tailwind CSS has all of that setup for you including the grids and layout styles.
