tailwind w- h- custom value's
Hello all, how often do you guys utilize custom value's over w-2 h-3? I see myself using them everywhere, but sometimes it just doesn't seem to feel right like there is an in-between that is missing and it makes me feel like I'm straying from the path

Tailwind's default sizings were carefully chosen to lead to a consistent design. Obviously it's fine to use custom values when the default ones aren't working but as a general rule you should probably stick to the default sizings unless you know what you're doing as a designer
If you want to center stuff and have trouble getting it pixel perfect with padding alone, maybe use flex with justify-center & items-center.
Well, I don't know if that's what you're seeking, but you might be missing 0.5, 1.5, and so on up until 2.5. Apart from this, there really are situations in which a small adjustment, more precise and particular, is necessary.
If you could point out some use cases, I could share some thoughts.
If you are using custom values then I'd suggest adding those to the tailwind config to keep everything visually consistent.
