Well, I meant the opposite - in CSS you can make the styles cleaner with nesting and such. TW always ends up with a ton of copy-pasting.

Though I will be fair, I don't think the projects I've seen it in used the themes properly.

if you're copypasting you're not using the code reuse tools of your component library. the nesting in normal css is component nesting with tailwind. and if you're copypasting things that aren't just the same component styles but something else shared, it's just a string you can stick it in a variable.
