You’re right - if you only used it for ‘font-heading-2’, you wouldn’t need it.
But like the person you’re responding to said, the ergonomics improve for the majority of cases that are just
‘flex items-center gap-2’.
And yes, you could write it all yourself but Tailwind is a good set of defaults for those classes and minimizes bike-shedding and improves consistency. These are useful things in lots of teams.
I don’t really use Tailwind on smaller personal projects because I love CSS, but in an org of mixed skill levels, it’s pretty damn useful.
(Also, Tailwind uses CSS variables. It had solid support for them in the last major and first class support for it in the current one.)
