Tailwind CSS is how I style everything — utility-first feels natural to me now, and I can't imagine going back to writing separate stylesheets for most projects.

What I like about it is the colocation — styles live right next to the markup, which makes components self-contained and easy to reason about. tailwind-merge handles dynamic class composition cleanly, and container queries have been a nice addition for responsive component design.


I use NativeWind to bring the same Tailwind patterns to React Native (TalkToMe), which keeps the styling mental model consistent between web and mobile. For design systems I define spacing, typography scales, and color tokens once in the Tailwind config and use them everywhere across the project.


I still value raw CSS knowledge — Grid, Flexbox, animations, and transitions for when utilities aren't enough. I've worked with SASS for legacy codebases and understand Atomic CSS methodology, but Tailwind is what I reach for on any new project.


Good styling should be invisible to the user and obvious to the developer — Tailwind achieves both.
