> Using CSS does not give you that. I don't even address the "learn to use CSS" phrase because anyone who uses Tailwind obviously knows CSS! We do the translation back and forth in our head as necessary.

While I agree, sometimes I feel Tailwind users forget that writing regular CSS is also an option. I have seen examples where developers repeat Tailwind classes for every paragraph, every link. They repeat same typography styles over and over again instead of creating some base CSS. A great example is this checkbox[1] where developers used 71 Tailwind classes to style the input.
