I'm a JS Subject Matter Expert (SME) that has spent the past few years spearheading curricula and teaching initiatives at colleges and bootcamps, in person and virtually.
Right tools, right job. If focus is on building JS apps (or whatever similar) and/or writing CSS feels boring and/or prevents me from being productive b/c I just don't want to do it (talking about a friend here - not me 😉), then using some type of 'CSS enhancement' is a good thing.
It doesn't have to be a full blown 'Bootstrap' 🤮 - but something (e.g. Tailwinds) that allows me to apply CSS knowledge without reinventing the wheel 🎡 every time and allows me a sufficient amount of customization (I like Bulma too), then sign me up! I will have a working, presentable app and focus on the parts that are most stimulating 🧠 for me, personally. Maybe it's fine for it to be 'cookie 🍪 cutter' and/or look 'basic.' 🤷🏽♂️
If, on the other hand, I am doing agency work for big dollar 🤑 clients, then they deserve a truly branded and custom-crafted experience, so I would strongly reconsider using "other people's CSS" (you down with OPCSS? 😼)
Whatever suits one's interest, especially for a hobby project, do it! 👍🏽
