I don't know?

Something like bootstrap seems so ludicrously non-complex that I don't think anyone competent should be getting upset with you for its use.

I mean, OK fine, go ahead and fanboy/girl Vue/React/(Needless complexity api) whatever. But really? They get upset looking through code for an HTML5/bootstrap page? Something's not right there. That's when you start suspecting they can only work in one api, and likely don't even really understand css.

I agree. To me, TWBS is just a collection of intuitive components that have been tested vigorously. They also function in a way that way people are used to because of their lineage. That they can be styled in a way that makes them not look stock...ices the cakes.

Bootstrap and Vue/React are orthogonal. People who use react use it with some css framework.

Afaik bootstrap is getting replaced by tailwind. Which is actually pleasure to work with.

By whom? Not by me.

Have you heard of jQueryUI, by chance?

jQueryUI does something different and they are not mutually replaceable. JQuery does not do what tailwind does. And tailwind does not do what jQuery does.

JQueryUI is also in maintenance state, basically a retired project.
