Is it a bad practice to build WP Plugins that depend on CSS libraries and JS frameworks?

Hey all,

I’ve done a fair bit of WP theme development so far and more recently I’ve started developing plugins.

I want to build a custom form plugin which I would use in several WordPress installations.

For the most part, my WP themes are all built with Tailwind CSS and either Alpine or Vue.

Now, I’m wondering if it’s a good idea to write a plugin which is dependent on these libraries. The obvious concern being that I might want to use it on a website that works with different libraries (jQuery, React, etc.).

I have zero patience with writing vanilla CSS, and am pretty hopeless without Tailwind.

I’m guessing one approach might be to set up a build process within the plugin itself.
