Tailwind CSS was developed and released in 2017 by Adam Wathan and has since then been one of the most popular ways of styling websites. Being a utility-first CSS framework, the core of Tailwind CSS is a collection of utility classes which often correspond to a single CSS property, though constrained to a curated set of values, making Tailwind CSS a great framework for building scalable and responsive websites in bigger teams.
Despite its massive popularity, Tailwind CSS is also one of the most controversial CSS frameworks due to its heavy use of utility classes, which some developers and designers argue makes the code less readable and maintainable, while others state the contrary.
