Itching to do some web development after a long pause, I've almost certainly decided to use Bootstrap. Before I invest my time and effort I'm checking here for any thoughts on Bootstrap. Is there a better alternative?
Bootstrap is the most popular web frontend library, it's popularity is no mistake as it is both powerful and accessible.
The main reason you see for not using it, is that it's too popular. Most dev's can immediately spot the bootstrap without even opening the inspector, for that reason some devs avoid it so their project look "different".
What I personally like is the number of integrations you see from bootstrap into popular JavaScript libraries such as
https://react-bootstrap.github.io/ .
From what I've seen Tailwind is currently the hipster choice for people avoiding bootstrap, but I wouldn't pay much credence to the hipster argument personally.
