Why does everyone love tailwind
So frameworks like https://www.pollen.style/ are doing this. Personally I still prefer the tailwind approach.
-
Tailwind CSS and the death of web craftsmanship
I do think that the real value of Tailwind comes from the utility classes, rather than css-in-html paradigm. You could achieve the same, for example, with Pollen.css [0] or Open Props [1].

Is vanilla CSS enough?
Tailwind is a great option to look into, I really enjoy it, but if you want something a bit more in-between, you can check out frameworks like https://www.pollen.style. There you get a framework of consistent CSS variables you can use, while still writing all your vanilla CSS yourself with full control of everything.

What UI framework would you recommend?
It uses UnoCSS (think TailwindCSS but super customizeable) with Pollen (which is similar to open props).

Open Props: Tailwind Alternative from Chrome Dev Team
Very similar to Pollen (https://www.pollen.style), though it looks a little more complicated.
IMO the main value of Tailwind is that it's a step function over your units and colors, which helps bring better consistency and dev speed to UI implementation.
Tailwind's "write class names instead of CSS" approach makes sense in the component-based systems most apps are built in these days, where pretty much any repeated markup will be turned into a component. It performs better than scoped styles and is less complicated.
A CSS variable approach like Open Props or Pollen is, in my experience, better if you're not using a component-based system (ie. conventional HTML) and therefore have repeated markup patterns. Having a simple class name to apply to repeated markup is much more maintainable than trying to copy/paste a long tailwind string around.

What are cool kids using for styling these days?
Pollen and Open Props are two popular examples of such token first frameworks. If you are not familiar with CSS Custom Properties (also called CSS variables), I recently wrote about how to use them to create a CSS Style API layer.

Pollen vs. Tailwind CSS: Finding the better build experience
In the last few years, a new set of frameworks with a radically different concept drew the attention of frontend developers. These frameworks are now extremely popular in the frontend world, and you’re likely already familiar with them: Tailwind CSS and Pollen.

Using a 2020 framework (Halfmoon UI), instead of Tailwind CSS, will I regret this?
Sadly, the Github (https://github.com/halfmoonui/halfmoon) was last updated in February 2021... It's really sad, because it had so much potential in my opinion. It would easily compete with Tailwind if it would have continued to evolve.

Halfmoon, let's try to give it a chance
On GitHub there are 59 issues that mostly concern mobile adjustments, progress bars to implement, sliders and checkboxes (which are a sandy part for every frontend dev)...
