In my first article about responsive fonts with clamp() and custom properties, I used vw units for the preferred font size. This technique is awesome for achieving typography that adjusts beautifully to screen size, keeping readability across different devices.

I get that they might seem like different approaches, but actually, they complement each other depending on what you need in your design. Sometimes, I mix both methods: using relative units for parts of the design that need more flexibility, and fixed sizes to keep consistency in other areas. It's all about finding that perfect balance for your project.
