Update: How I used to write CSS vs. now after 6 months of Tailwind
Back in March I was still hand-writing all my CSS classes for a small project, with tons of media queries scattered everywhere. Then I tried Tailwind on a client site in July because they specifically asked for it. At first I hated the long class names in my HTML, but after about 3 weeks it clicked and my styling got way faster. Has anyone else made the switch and felt like it changed how they approach layout decisions?

Did the utility-first approach actually change how you think about spacing and sizing, or did you just get used to writing the classes? I'm curious because when I tried Tailwind I ended up leaning way too hard on arbitrary values instead of their default scale, which kind of defeated the purpose. Do you find yourself reaching for custom CSS less often now that you know the framework better, or are there certain things you still drop down to regular stylesheets for?
