What I see, when starting a new project, you can easily push the usage of tailwind, people are open to it. Most devs are familiar with it.
However, it is harder to add it to an existing one. When adding tailwind to an existing project, I always recommend using the 'tw-' or another prefix for all tailwind classes.

Right. Setting up the config to prefix tailwind classes with 'tw-', you are able to identify which css classes in your app are added by tailwind (because all of them start with 'tw-') and which classes you defined internally (don't start with 'tw-').
