Pick one approach and use it consistently: Tailwind for speed and tiny CSS, CSS Modules for plain scoped CSS, a component library like MUI for fast MVPs, or CSS-in-JS like Styled Components for dynamic prop-driven styling. Mix approaches and you create confusion.
For fast MVPs where you want ready-made components with built-in styling, especially internal tools where a unique design is less important. For a custom design, Tailwind or CSS Modules give full control.
Tailwind, once you learn the utility names. It is fast to write, ships tiny production CSS, and colocates styling with React components. For fastest MVP without learning Tailwind, a component library like MUI is quick too.
