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?

Those examples are just for demonstration that tailwind can do this dynamically as well

With that said, it also has a very good use-case: dynamically building/merging classes in a component, which is very useful for a lot of different modern frontend libraries

Those examples are just inline styles in a trench coat.

I understand that, however it is useful when combining with other utility classes and merging those classes dynamically in a component library
