Discussion on: Which CSS library do you prefer and WHY ?

I just started using Tailwind for the first time and at first I didn't care for it because of needing to specify so many configuration pieces, but now that I have it up and running, it's been enjoyable to use!

I was already (inconsistently) writing my own m-top classes for my apps, so the style they use just made my css consistent rather than just different enough to be a pain between apps!

I love Tailwind so much. The ability to simply write HTML (and skipping CSS for most things) allows me to move much faster. I'm not a designer, but there's something about having so much power at your fingertips.

The one advantage I particularly like is not fighting against the framework. I've used Bootstrap for many years in the past (and loved it), but fighting against the defaults was a common thread.

Part of why I've been enjoying Tailwind is that it has made me more consistent in my spacing, which has greatly improved how my UI looks 😅

Yeah it's too much to configure, not for beginners at all.
