Having used both, I find that although Semantic UI has a lot more pluggable components, documentation on anything beyond simple examples and one sentence descriptions is severely lacking. Some components are just plain buggy, and the developer is not very fast at fixing them. It's got a lot of features but the lack of polish and development speed makes it hard to recommend for a larger team.

I think only having a single developer has had mixed effects on the project, which is a shame because it's so close to being great.

Meanwhile BS4 has solid built in components that are just documented enough to be usable despite not having as many. Issues get fixed quickly and it feels easier to follow its conventions. The JS APIs are simple enough as well, and the code behind it is much easier to follow than in Semantic UI.
