I'm kind of just getting started on web development. What would you recommend instead of Bootstrap?

Starting out, Bulma has a similar kind of development style to Bootstrap but it looks much nicer out of the box. (bulma.io)

Once you get more experience, TailwindCSS can be good way to go. (tailwindcss.com)

Mind you my focus here is less on learning the more current tech and methodologies and more learning by getting something done early.

Bootstrap is actually great.

The worst thing is that it looks like Bootstrap :P

You should use something like Material Design for Bootstrap right away.

Especially with the latest v5 version with plain JS (na jQuery)

Agree with Hamza, we moved to TailwindCSS since 2019 and never looked back.
TailwindCSS is cool but it has its downsides, Bootstrap 5 doesn't need jQuery anymore and that will change the game in the future I guess.

Anyway, use what you feel comfortable with. Personally, I work with both TailwindCSS and Bootstrap at the same time.
