## What it is
The official Tailwind CSS IntelliSense extension for Visual Studio Code, providing intelligent tooling for Tailwind utility classes. It offers autocomplete, syntax highlighting, linting, and hover previews for class names.

## Use cases
- autocomplete tailwind css class names in vscode
- lint tailwind class usage and flag unknown or invalid classes
- preview css on hover for tailwind utilities
- get syntax highlighting for tailwind class strings
- speed up styling with tailwind in visual studio code

## When to choose
- you write Tailwind CSS in Visual Studio Code and want autocomplete and linting
- you want hover previews of generated CSS for utility classes
- you want the official, actively maintained Tailwind editor tooling

## When to avoid
- you don't use Visual Studio Code or a compatible editor
- your project doesn't use Tailwind CSS
- you need IntelliSense for a different CSS framework
