Inline styles have no support for media queries, container queries pseudo classes (hover, focus), pseudo elements (before) and attribute selectors. With tailwind I can even just stack them like this "lg:hover:px-[10px]".

Note that similarly to writing inline classes, if you need to refactor the css, you’d need to re-read and rewrite the class soup everywhere in your project.

I don’t know, I haven’t done frontend in years. But I suspect this is an insanely common request, since the preamble on this [1] page addresses it head on:

> Often the biggest challenge when working with a framework is figuring out what you’re supposed to do when there’s something you need that the framework doesn’t handle for you.
