> I've been using Bootstrap since it came out 15 years ago but it never developed a 3rd party component library. I assume because it doesn't have the same sort granular building blocks for building novel components.

Except, it does now. Presumably because of the popularity of Tailwind, Bootstrap has all of these inline utility classes, and LLMs absolutely love to spam them across your code. It’s really annoying when you have a stylesheet with a few dozen well-scoped lines, and the LLM just starts bashing inline styles everywhere.

True, though Bootstrap's utility classes are extremely limited compared to Tailwind's classes. And they aren't very foundational. More like a fast way to bolt on tweaks.
