Vanilla JavaScript Support for Tailwind Plus – Tailwind CSS
Tachyons CSS was also around at the same time but Tailwind had simpler naming conventions so instead of `br4` you had `rounded-lg`.

Kicking the tires with NestJS and Hotwire: Part II
I chose Tachyons over Tailwind because Tachyons is an atomic CSS framework, similar to Tailwind, however it's much lighter weight. Tailwind tends to be a bit heavier without using post CSS processing so I wanted to stick with something smaller.

Is there a better option than plain HTML, CSS and JS for creating my own design system?
I like using a functional CSS library (tachyons.io, tailwindcss, or SLDS) and setup components separately. The CSS has my colors and units declared (and the aim is to not have 40 different gray colors, it's to limit yourself with a definition list). Then the actual components are setup via a component library. Plenty to choose from: React, VueJS, LWC, AngularJS, or just native web components.

Why I choose T3 stack as the fullstack to build the react app
Therefore, I totally got to buy in for the utility-first approach. In that world, the only thing is worth mentioning is Tachyons. However, although it came way earlier than Tailwind, it is said to be feature-complete, and one cannot expect new features to be added or problems discussed. The latest release is almost five years old, which definitely violates the principle “Bleed Responsibly”. You can also see that from the star trend:
