If you got lots of "custom" styling for elements, why can't one write a CSS class just as easily and give the element that class? Why is Tailwind better? Am I not also writing the definitions in Tailwind then and assigning those classes to my element then? I don't get what the benefit is supposed to be.

That’s exactly what I do for elements with lots of custom styling!

I guess I didn’t explain fully, but for things like the button example, I use regular ol css modules. Tailwind is for all the glue. And in my experience, most of the css you write when working on a feature is glue.
