What's Good
Utility classes eliminate the naming problem. The design system is built-in. JIT compilation means only used styles ship. The plugin ecosystem extends capabilities.
The Catch
HTML becomes verbose. The utility-first paradigm requires adjustment. Complex components need extraction. Some designers find it limiting.
Verdict
The CSS framework that made styling productive.
