Nowadays you may see Flutter is getting more popular in mobile app development world. Flutter was released in 2017, two years after its closest competitor React Native, which launched in 2015.

But still you cant use flutter for all of your projects. So lets talk about that,

When not to use Flutter?

1. Device & Platform - Wear OS version or a Smart TV app
2. When your App size matters < 4MB
3. Hardware Support - ( Connecting to RFID, Barcode scanners, Bluetooth Devices)
4. Flutter for Web ( Though stable version is released )
5. Instant Apps ( Again! Your app size matters )
6. Platform Specific Look and Feel ( Material and Cupertino )
7. Lack of 3rd party Integration ( Even it has 19K plugins, many are still unstable and need a to improve)

TailwindCSS is the one of "Most Adopted Technology" according to the State of CSS 2020 Survey Results. TailwindCSS is getting popular day-by-day, with a +17.8% progression over 2019. Even though with its popularity we can just move to Tailwind. Yes, Tailwind is not for beginners who just start to learn web development ( Say HTML, CSS, or JS ). Anyone who just want to learn frontend development just start with basics of CSS. Make sure that you are familiar with CSS properties before you go for any of the CSS frameworks.

If you are a person with good CSS knowledge and if you are looking for pre-packed styling options making you to code less and achieve a good responsive layout then you can give it a try. It is also suitable for teams working at huge applications as using Class selector is universal and safe method of applying style to element. Universal class names makes a team to build quick, similar and makes less code repetition.

Never look for 'the next big thing', just go with which suits you better!
