The reason I use bootstrap: It looks good enough, and I don't have to spend time arguing with the UI guy over the "integrity of the design".
The people paying my bills would rather have functionality that looks good enough now than the same functionality that looks beautiful three months from now.
- paulojreis 11y agoBootstrap has a righteous dominant position in that kind of solution. When "good enough" is really "enough" and, mostly, when "now" is really mandatory, Bootstrap shines. To quickly deploy something that works, that's what I'd do anyway. My pet peeve with Bootstrap, however, is its usage in larger applications, in applications with very customized styles and/or a defined styleguide. If you're spending a minimum effort in developing a web app and/or specific styles, then Bootstrap will - very, very soon - be a liability (performance and mantainability-wise).
- steverb 11y agoI haven't found that to be the case...but I do mostly LOB apps, which honestly aren't all that demanding from a UI perspective. Requirements gathering is hell though, which is where my team actually earns their money.
