More FAQs in Tailwind CSS vs Bootstrap: Which Should You Use With React?
It depends. Bootstrap is faster for quick prototypes and internal tools where looking unique does not matter. Tailwind gives full control and a small bundle, so it is better for custom production React apps.
Because everyone uses the same predefined components like btn btn-primary. Tailwind sites look unique because you build everything from utilities, so the design is entirely yours.
Yes. Bootstrap ships a large CSS file with styles you may not use. Tailwind scans your markup and ships only the utilities you actually use, so the production CSS is tiny.
