Why I’m Choosing Tailwind CSS Over Bootstrap

Why I’m Choosing Tailwind CSS Over Bootstrap image

Having worked with Bootstrap for years, I recently dove into Tailwind CSS, and the biggest difference for me has been the level of customization. Don’t get me wrong—Bootstrap is fantastic for quickly building responsive layouts, but here’s what makes Tailwind stand out:

1. Complete Control Over Styles:
With Tailwind, I’m not tied to pre-made components. I can style elements exactly the way I want, directly in my HTML, without constantly overriding default Bootstrap styles.

2. Custom Utility Classes:
Tailwind’s approach to utilities means I can create custom classes that perfectly fit my design, rather than trying to fit everything into Bootstrap’s grid and component classes.

3. Cleaner and More Organized: Surprisingly, even with all the utility classes, Tailwind code feels organized. It makes the design process flexible, without diving into the CSS file every time I need a slight change.

For projects that need a unique, polished look, Tailwind has become my go-to. Bootstrap is still a great option, but if you’re aiming for something truly customizable, Tailwind’s worth exploring.

Who else has made the switch, or is considering it?
