Why I Still Use CSS Modules in a Tailwind World

Tailwind CSS has won the popularity contest, and for good reason—it speeds up prototyping immensely. But on large-scale applications with complex, highly animated components, a string of 40 utility classes becomes unreadable. I advocate for a hybrid approach: using Tailwind for layout and spacing, but reverting to CSS Modules (or SCSS) for complex component internals. It’s about using the right tool for the specific component, not adhering to a dogma.
