Utility-first CSS framework that has become the default for new projects.
Why we recommend it
It keeps styling next to markup and enforces a design-token scale by default, which is why so many component libraries build on it.
Strengths
- Enforces a consistent spacing and colour scale
- No context switching between files
- Enormous ecosystem
Drawbacks
- Markup becomes verbose
- Divisive among developers
