For me TailwindCSS actually was helpful in learning CSS. You still apply the same core CSS fundamentals. If you created a complex layout in Tailwind, you can also do it in normal CSS. I look up the exact rules behind their classes frequently in their docs.

If you just copy classes and don't care to understand them, it's a different story of course.



You don’t apply the same core fundamentals because Tailwind works to specifically remove the core fundamental of CSS: the cascade.


I guess, but that has certainly been a huge relief in my personal experience.


yes, specificity wars make it really hard to reuse components across multiple product domains and teams within a large org.

by css fundamentals, they just mean what the various style properties do.


How does tailwind remove cascading? It's just css classes.


Also removes the sheet, fwiw
