CSS is declarative already!

Tailwind also doesn’t polyfill.

It uses CSS variables (custom properties) extensively. Which you can also do with just CSS.

Defining properties locally is a legit preference, but you can also use CSS for this.

Apologies, I meant browser normalization, not polyfill. Go my terms mixed up. I also appreciate Tailwind’s pre-built sizings and quick ways to define breakpoint-base styling at the element level. That said, if you want absolute control rather than convenience, then Tailwind can be more of a hindrance than a help. I would rather not manage a lot of that myself for most of my projects.
