Leaving `Tailwind`, Rebuilding a Structured CSS System

The practical move is not ditching utility discipline but re-encoding only the parts that aged well. Keep preflight, palette, and type scale, then move them into CSS variables and split files for a saner long-term base.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. The migration keeps Tailwind's useful defaults like preflight reset, color tokens, and font scale instead of starting raw; that cuts regressions while dropping class-heavy markup.
  2. Semantic HTML plus vanilla CSS shifts structure back into markup and design rules back into stylesheets; easier to scan, but only if naming and file boundaries stay strict.
  3. Rebuilding the system with CSS variables turns ad-hoc utilities into shared tokens; better fit for theming and incremental edits than copy-pasting utility clusters.
