    But plain CSS is proper CSS. Tailwind is training wheels for people who don’t want to learn CSS.

      That is not true. You do need to know CSS to make proper use of Tailwind for anything beyond changing colors and padding. That’s the reason why the Intellisense VS Code extension gives the underlying CSS on hover. I’d love to see a newbie try content layout knowing nothing but Tailwind.
