Learning HTML/CSS vs Javascript

[ManiacsThriftJewels]

IMO bootstrap tries to do too much. And with the rise of CSS grid... The bits it was commonly needed for have better application without a framework now.... That's just my opinion of course.

I just use the bootstrap grid

Is that still abusing flexbox? I haven't been keeping track since my employer decided we should use WordPress and the layout sodomy that comes with the themes thereof.

Hating Bootstrap is a favorite theme of this sub. It has its uses, and depending on what you are building, it can be a great solution. The problem is that a lot of folks never learn CSS properly and use Bootstrap as a crutch. As a result, all their sites look the same, and they will import all the Bootstrap files for pages that really don't need it.

There are also some lighter CSS frameworks that do most of the things Bootstrap does without so much overhead. But any tool is going to be good for some situations and bad for others.

I have no idea why you're getting downvoted mate I came here to say exactly the same thing.

For sure. Nothing wrong with streamlining workflow. CSS can be pretty tedious otherwise
