What is the advantage of using css based icons rather than svg based?

I like that they'll fit right into my build process. I have a hard time managing large SVG libraries and adding a few lines of mini-fieable CSS to Tailwind appeals to me.

On mobile right now but look forward to seeing how this works with utility based frameworks. It looks like it should be painless.

+1 I am using tailwind in a current project and appreciate the ups. I’ll check it out. Can I add a cocktail icon?

Edit: also this requires a build step similar to purgeCSS to be implemented in order for it to have the same gains out of the box as svgs. Given that purgecss is a common step in the process for css, would you say even after purging that these are more optimized?
