Tailwind vs traditional CSS – is the learning curve worth it?

Senior dev told me to learn Tailwind instead of vanilla CSS but it looks so different from what I learned in school.

Is it actually better for building stuff fast? Or just another trend? Would love to hear from people who made the switch.

Senior dev here – taught myself vanilla CSS first, then learned Tailwind.

My take: LEARN VANILLA CSS FIRST. Understanding the fundamentals makes Tailwind make sense. If you only learn Tailwind, you wont understand WHY things work.

Once you know CSS, Tailwind is amazing for speed.

Made the switch 2 years ago, never looking back.

Yes the learning curve exists, but once you get it, you build UIs WAY faster. No more switching between HTML and CSS files.

The utilities make responsive design way easier too. Just use md: or lg: prefixes and done.
