The Reason Why I Choose Tailwind As My Primary CSS Framework Right Now
Many years ago, I had always been using Bootstrap as a CSS framework for creating UIs. At the time, Bootstrap is the popular framework almost all developers used to make their User Interfaces look good and more responsive. I adopted Bootstrap griding-system when I created my own framework, according to the simplicity, popularity, and well-documented framework.
Styling Flexibility
In my opinion, currently, the Bootstrap era almost ends and has been replaced by TailwindCSS. With Tailwind, the developers are getting more flexible to create their UI and Tailwind can hone the CSS skills of developers. If you mastered a lot of CSS, you will really like Tailwind because with it you just style your UI in more simple and shorten way.
Create Your Own!
I use Tailwind in my React or Vue projects and feel really love it. I think when we use Bootstrap as a framework, our UIs will be really familiar with developers or users and the UI looks similar to each other. This is a different thing when we compare Bootstrap and Tailwind. With Tailwind, I feel my UI looks not really similar and I can create my own styles according to my mind. Besides that, you can create your own color dictionary!
Good Looking Codes
I combine Tailwind and SASS in my NextJS project and taraa! The codes look good and wonderful!
Just In Time Compiler
You might think that with Tailwind, your project will be bloated because Tailwind load all CSS styles and convert them to classes. That opinion is my opinion at the beginning use Tailwind. After a few times I use it, actually, that thing wasn’t correct. When you integrate your Tailwind with a modern framework, the framework developers create an amazing feature called JIT to make your app bundle size more optimized.
