One thing I changed my mind about in 2023 is tailwind CSS.

I started the year curious, but not convinced. 

Now I can't imagine working without it - particularly with shadcn.

Over the last 10 years I've gone thru: global CSS -> SASS -> BEM -> PostCSS  -> CSS in JS -> CSS Modules -> Inline styles (fuck it) -> Tailwind

tailwind gives you the best of inline styles:
- code colocated by relatedness, not by language or part of stack
- no mental overhead/naming/referencing
- no jumping between files
- copy pastable

But with improvements:
- standardized values & systems
- more concise
- bundling & optimization
- lib composability

I've been using Stitches and really like it. I've also used tailwind and liked it, but don't like having to use a different syntax and how messy it makes html. Do you recommend I switch?

more than 8 tailwind classes on an element and it should probably be component(s) instead.

Css in JS is dying; stitches is no longer maintained. 

Would recommend https://ui.shadcn.com/ which uses tailwind under the hood
