Tailwind CSS v1.0 - A utility-first CSS framework for building custom designs.

Most frameworks make it really hard to build custom designs, but Tailwind is different. Instead of predesigned components, Tailwind provides low-level utility classes that let you build completely custom designs without ever leaving your HTML.

Once tailwind, always tailwind

Looking forward to a component library :-)

Pros:

This is my ideal framework. Ease of use, cleanliness, readability of code are huge bonuses. Forces good and modern development practices

Cons:

You either already like or you learn to love the utility-first approach

The authors are amazing people and the authors of Refactoring UI. Which gives them community recognition. As people who work daily with products, I put a lot a trust in knowing, that most issues I will face on my Apps, they did already and had put them into consideration.

Pros:

👶🏽 Easy to use 🏎 Fast 💪🏽 Powerful

Cons:

It might be a lot to take in at the beginning, but it gradually gets better.

I don't wanna go back to the "old ways" of writing CSS. Don't even wanna look back.

Pros:

Prototyping + making changes = fast. With PurgeCSS, total CSS is tiny. Helps sticking to a design system. Docs are great. Robust defaults.

Cons:

Requires good CSS knowledge. Lots of classes in your HTML (you get used to it). Takes a little to learn the class names (use extensions).

Tailwind lets me reproduce designs faster than any other CSS framework or methodology, and even better, I can come back to any site built using Tailwind and pick it right up. I thought I loved writing CSS until I discovered Tailwind, now I’m really glad I don’t have to. Although if I really have to, Tailwind makes the CSS architecture of a project so simple and logical, with its separation between base styles, components, and utilities. I would never go back to anything else.

Pros:

I can build anything design I want much faster than with regular CSS.

Cons:

@apply doesn’t work with variants, and some utilities available in plugins should be in the core IMO.

Love Tailwind CSS for his simplicity and freedom.

Pros:

Easy, Good Docs

Cons:

Only few Examples, Themes, components

There is so many helpful classes so you won't need to go back and forth between CSS and HTML

Pros:

It make it easy to start building . Stopping to see if this fit or not just got out the window.

Cons:

Nothing for real. Try it
