I hope what you describe will eventually be true for me, but so far the purported benefit of not jumping around isn't being realized. After 5 weeks of using Tailwind every day, I still have to switch between my file and the Tailwind docs fairly often to look up whatever shortcut classes I need.

So far I just miss CSS modules. Having my .tsx and .scss files both visible in split screen wasn't so bad.




Do you use VSCode? Add the tailwind autocomplete plugin. It's intellisence for your tailwind config. Huge productivity boon when learning tailwind.


You’ll start realizing the benefit more when you use it on multiple projects. Tailwind will be consistent across your projects where you can’t always say the same for custom CSS.


Highly recommend the VSCode plugin where you get autocomplete and also mouse-over popups that tell you what classes translate to.
