I'd say it's a nice abstract of CSS, but it precipitates knowledge in CSS first. For beginners, I'd recommend focusing on good CSS knowledge first as a foundation before trying Tailwind CSS.

Its like a glorified style='...' attribute in my opinion. I'd say you should know what style='display:flex; justify-content:center; width: 100%' does before getting into Tailwind. Whether its a good practice to write HTML like that is irrelevant to your original question

As always in life it's probably better to first learn about a thing before using it. That way, not only can you better evaluate the consequences of using the thing, if you run into an edge case or into something that you did not foresee you have a better chance to understand why it didn't work and what you can do about it.

Specifically for TailwindCSS: IMHO it's in between working with inline styles (like for example

) and using "component" classes (for example
). On one hand it permits reusable classes which is better than pure inline styles, on the other hand it somewhat breaks the SOC because you start to mix styling concerns with your markup (in other terms: You sooner or later run into the situation that you have to update the markup when you want to change the styling). I think that's something you have to consider before using it.

I would say understanding basics of CSS is necessary during early stages of web development. After finally understanding jumping into tailwind will make it much easier. Since learning window for CSS is short u can quickly jump into tailwind and also it totally depends on your skill as well. the more in depth you understand CSS the better.

Newbies can try it out, it is easy to pick-up and use and you could get away with knowing just Tailwind. However given the fact that Tailwind is just the most recent fad in terms of CSS you should make sure to first master native CSS with all it's quirks, you will be rewarded in the long term and will have a better understanding when the next new shiny framework drops.
