It does require a bit more setup and getting used to but once you're up to speed you'll be going like a madman.

I highly advise adding PurgeCSS to the build pipeline with Tailwind, it can reduce the output CSS from around 250kB to 15kB for a small website without removing stuff manually from the configuration. The setup is explained in the docs [0].
