Just because you have Tailwind in your codebase doesn't mean you can _only_ use Tailwind. I often use a mixture of both when it makes sense. The Tailwind classes are often terser. Tailwind is not great for all things.

IMO, what DaisyUI does is how you are meant to be using Tailwind. You aren't supposed to use _only_ TailwindCSS classes in HTML directly (although you can). It's faster for prototyping, then once the prototype solidifies and becomes a pattern, you can extract your long tailwind string into a nice utility class.

It happens to use things like `@apply gap-2` internally in its src, so that if you want to override "how large the gaps are" in Tailwind, Daisy will also inherit that override.
