The first day i found it i said: I will use it.

I implemented one project (in an alternative @apply why, which is not intention of tailwind). Tailwind actually speeded up the process, but I said: NEVER AGAIN!

After few weeks reading reviews from others I was not sure.

Later I started missing Tailwind.

And finally I started using it for all my projects…

The first benefit of Tailwind - you don’t have to come up with ids and class names for your divs. I love this part. It actually a big time saver.

Second - if you use react / vue and need a component - tailwind is just made for that. If you see repeating yourself with classes - create a component

Third - I don’t have to write any .css file. Everything via html. I was afraid it’s like an inline-styles, but it’s not actually. It’s about using a design system.

The funny thing is when i was using bootstrap, i needed to visit homepage to find a code to copy paste it. even after 1 year using it. It took me few days with tailwind and I rarely visit docs...
