Which CSS approach should we default to for new web projects? Discussion

Hi!

I wanted to gather some opinions from different people as to which styling approach we should use primarily while developing web applications for long-term maintainability.

For me, it is Vanilla CSS (or SCSS) because it forces you to understand core CSS principles and keep your HTML clean. If your team understands standard CSS architecture, they can easily maintain the codebase without learning a framework's specific syntax.

I know Tailwind CSS is insanely popular right now and holds a massive share of new projects. But I think it is very easy to end up with unreadable HTML files full of utility classes without even realizing that you're just writing inline styles with extra steps.

Thanks!
