Well, if I have a quick site to put up I want a framework that comes with some kind of look. Bootstrap ain't great but does the job. I can also drop-in compatible themes. Pretty great if I'm no designer.
What's "learning" all the hundreds of bootstrap classes? The grid system is pretty clear and the vast majority of classes follow simple logic. Opposite that you have the legion of utility classes of tailwind.
With tailwind your html tags become repositories of a long list of utility classes that quickly become unreadable and need some care to be kept in the same order. It's just one level removed from going back to inline styles.
Probably doing inline CSS would be a better fit step though because then the goal of either tailwind or bootstrap becomes a bit clearer and you can choose accordingly.
