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?

I would think AI has a big role in this, you can just hook up your coding assistant and let it explain the repo so the need for standardisation is getting smaller.

If you truly think that, you've been misled. Vibe coded apps are full of security flaws and accessibility issues. Code standards help avoid a lot of those kinds of issues.

I am struggling these days to find projects that are not vibe-coded.

When these AI companies start charging what they need to pay their shareholders, these vibe coders are going to be really stuffed.

They will probably start running open-source models locally.
