VSCode CSS Snippets

Description

Collection of CSS Snippets to make your life easier by auto-completing common css rules, Tailwind utility classes as css rules - Tailwind and 1 line layouts

It's not debatable, most of us got used to utility classes from Tailwind, BootStrap etc,. But when you come back to write plain CSS, wouldn't be great to have those utility classes converted as snippets instead of typing the CSS rules?

Apart from CSS Utility snippets, collection of snippets from popular CSS examples found all over the web can be found.
