Most people at this point just say ' So what? You make CSS from start and don't use any framework?' And well, I don't create my CSS from scratch, and I do use a framework, but only for managing the columns of the website. And having to override the default styles of Bootstrap is just like having to create your own CSS from start. Some components will require you to use !important several times, which is not ideal when creating CSS.

While Bootstrap is easy to use, it's not so easy to customize as you might think. If you wanted to change the position of the modal you could totally do it with only one class, adding these classes is just dumb. This is not a problem just of Bootstrap, but of many frameworks I've seen, like Materialize or UiKit, where there are components that most people wouldn't use and there are classes that can be broken down into only one style, like:Р”Р„nd so on for modal-top-right, modal-bottom-left, modal-bottom-right. So there's this vast quantity of components that you will maybe not use and they will be there anyway. And you may argue that with NodeJS you can compile and use only the CSS that the website uses, but with plain HTML for a server with Cpanel, this is not possible (At least that I know).

Bootstrap has so many components and utilities, that you are almost certain to never use even half of them. 'Lack of?' Nope, not at all, is actually the opposite. All of these resources will not be used even in half if you use Bootstrap. And using Bootstrap means that you have to use also jQuery, so if you were to create a landing page with Bootstrap, you would have to use jQuery, Bootstrap CSS, and Bootstrap JS. But let's take on consideration how much of Bootstrap we actually use. 'Weight? But Bootstrap is less than 500KB'. And with that, I thought I had frontend developing mastered, it was easy, fast to use and it has a lot of components! Nice!Р”В«ut as my work progressed and the websites became more and more custom, I started to find Bootstrap a little bit unuseful, and that's when I came to a conclusion as to why I would not be using Bootstrap in my new works.Р”Р‡or easier understanding, I have divided this post in the reasons of why I don't use it, enjoy: Let's start with my history (I'm gonna be short, promise C: ) When I started working on frontend web development, the first thing I crossed upon was Bootstrap. Since it's a question that students, coworkers, and people, in general, have been asking me a lot recently: Why I don't use Bootstrap? Hi! My name is Codedgar and today I wanted to talk of why I don't use Bootstrap anymore. But in the five years I have making websites, I have found things that made me change my decision of using Bootstrap at all, and I've changed the way I create websites almost completely.
