I've been a very dedicated user of plain CSS, but after seeing so much about it, I recently tried Tailwind. It could definitely be a major improvement to my toolkit, yet I feel there are times when I need to go back to plain CSS. A key example thats coming to my mind right now is the :has selector. Its usefulness is so great that it now seems essential for writing CSS. Since I've recently started exploring Tailwind, there might be a solution I'm not aware of yet. However, for now, I find myself returning to the traditional, plain CSS style.

As @trona2000 said, Tailwind already solved this problem. Sure thing, personally at first I didn't like Tailwind - but right now I'm obsessed with it :D Soon I'm gonna post my refreshed website where I'm using Vue.js, Nuxt, and TailwindCSS

Tailwind CSS has only one issue for complex designs you have to write many classes to overcome this i use Daisy UI which has many inbuilt components, Also for classes i use Tailwind Fold Plugin!
