Plain HTML yes.

Using a web framework? No.

It is clever in that half of it is missing: the componentisation that React (etc.) brings with it makes this shine.

You can also define normal CSS classes based on the utility classes if you so wish.

Tailwind after 4 hours of learning curve is so much nicer than cutting css or using old skool css frameworks. Some of that is because ready designed components exist that you can copy.

With an old skool css framework once you hit an edge case you can be snookered and spend ages diagnosing why because of some clever stuff they done.

Tailwind says “yeah css was a bad idea, let us abstract it away a bit” and does a nice job.
