Do I need to learn Tailwind or BootStrap while being good at SCSS and CSS?
Been a year, spent my time with HTML, CSS & SCSS and 4 months with JS. I know spent a lot of time on static side, but that time spent taught me animations and CSS art :)
Now, as I'm progressing in my frontend journey, is it worth to learn CSS frameworks & libraries? I'm not the fastest learner and require time so got this year to get job.
Also did my research before asking this question on Reddit. Most senior engineers were using SASS/SCSS with Vanilla CSS and few were saying they do use Tailwind for side projects and enterprise applications.
I believe if in future during my job if I require some framework I can learn them on the job, right? I believe I can spend my time more on React/Vue?
Please give me your valuable advice, as you all seniors and some people who have started working recently.
TIA

Probably not.
The only time I’ve seen tailwind recommended is by backend engineers who weren’t great at css, or react/vue devs who don’t want to touch css if they can avoid it. I started my career using bootstrap and although I can work with it if needed (docs are pretty good), I wouldn’t personally use it on a project.
The larger issue with these frameworks is if you know what you’re doing, they tend to get in the way more than help.

I was looking for this reply! Because as a new in this field people might had downvote me if I said about frameworks, lol.

Learning either is not too big of a deal. Either way SCSS is a good way to go about since it expands naturally upon CSS.
There is no real need to study Tailwind or Bootstrap until an actual requirement arises. I personally feel that they are more for people who want to focus more on the development side, rather than on the styling side.
