Why Tailwind CSS Wins

Sep 15, 2023 6 min readBy Salem Alnahdi

Tailwind CSS has taken the web development world by storm. Its utility-first approach offers a unique way to style applications that scales incredibly well.

The Utility-First Workflow

Instead of writing custom CSS classes, you use small, single-purpose utility classes directly in your HTML. This might look messy at first, but it has significant advantages:

  • No Context Switching: You don't have to jump between HTML and CSS files.
  • Smaller CSS Bundle: Tailwind automatically removes unused CSS, resulting in tiny production bundles.
  • Consistency: You are constrained to a set of predefined values, ensuring a consistent design system.
