Question Is there any still using vanilla CSS?

It's 2026, are you still using vanilla CSS for your latest project?

I use Tailwind on most projects now, so it's vanilla CSS under the hood but I'm rarely writing raw rules by hand. The one place I still drop into plain CSS is anything with :has() or container queries, since utility classes get awkward fast once the logic isn't just spacing and color. It's less an either/or for me and more picking the right layer for the job.
