I seldom write CSS. I tried tailwindcss on one of my recent projects that required to closely follow a custom design (a portfolio for a graphic designer friend). I like it, with some caveats.
Main benefit for me is that I don't need to remember how to write css. 95% of what I need is a shortcut away from tailwind docs. The result is "prettier" than any other website-from-scratch I've done (that's purely on me, not much css practice). Now that I've memorised most common tailwind classes, I'm also moving faster than ever.
Main downside is that it's annoying having to modify tailwind's config file to add non-default variations (mostly different heights/widths than what it ships with).
Maybe something like Girouette[0] would be better.
By the way, the project I linked is actually the same idea as tailwindcss-jit, but made from scratch, and in Clojure.
I'm not sure how easily I'll be able to use tailwindcss-jit since my projects are in clojure (it won't be able to automatically pick up the classes I use), but I might be able to feed them to it somehow.
