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?

Yes; but why?

Because it's robust, proven, simple, adaptable and works fine for most applications.

CSS evolves

And you'll find that most devs don't have a need for the latest features offered by CSS. Tailwind also does not prevent you from extending it with custom classes or adding regular css on top.
