Hi! Thanks for your message.
In short:
- when you use inline styles, the specificity is huge. It overrides everything else in your CSS. You can’t override an inline-style. While this might sound good, it is going to lead to big problems if you do that everywhere
- Inline styles cannot handle hover states, media queries, pseudo elements. This is very limiting in the age of responsive, interactive web applications
If you want a more detailed discussion about the exact topic, I invite you to read this thread: https://github.com/tachyons-css/tachyons/issues/12.
Adam Morse, the creator of tachyons, makes a pretty good explanation in there.
Hope it helps! :)
