If you are extremely disciplined when it comes to your custom css, sure its better.But like any framework or library, tailwind lets other people jump in quickly and be productive because its a standard. Though i may be biased because i love using tailwind

Would implementing the utility first approach of Tailwind in Sass be better i.e. a Sass interpretation of their @apply directive? Packing a bunch of class names into HTML doesn't seem like a great developer experience.
