You are the type of user TailwindCSS is great for.

I love writing CSS and I love the control it gives me over everything, I already know what I am doing and how to setup things with other tools so, TailwindCSS is not for me.

This is what people need to understand. TailwindCSS solves a huge problem for users like you but for users like me who have developed the muscle memory, changing our ways is not so easy and therefore there will be a natural resistance to it.

Love the tool but not my go-to choice.
