Play with TailwindCSS in the Browser

I thought the same thing before requiring to use it on an open-source project I was collaborating on.... it changed my mind within a few hours. It is a God send.

Like others have said, the selector logic is top-notch and not having to build your own styles is great as they are pre-defined. You can always modify the styles any way you want and add your own custom ones too.

It looks "gross", but it's very practical. If you follow the best standards for component sizing, you should never really have much of a problem with the styling getting in the way.

I've noticed this pattern with Tailwind specifically where people who look at it hate it, but people who tried it love it. I've tried it, and I like it.

This phenomenon encourages me to try something out before forming an opinion.

It generally seems like the only objection is “it looks weird” whereas the people who use it invariably say it dramatically improves ease of development and prevention of bugs.
