No, but it’s time to drop the frameworks. Their only purpose was to make grid designs work, and CSS has caught up a while ago.
> Designers will often prescribe that an element should span (for example) four out of 12 columns on a desktop screen, without the knowledge that their idea of “columns” on the web bears no relation to how the layout may actually be built.
I won’t doubt the author’s lived experience. But in mine, designers aren’t as clueless as they are presented in this quote and in many discussions here.
- gpspake 5y agoThis is my take too. Bootstrap and foundation's float hack grid systems kept us alive while CSS caught up to "OMG we need to display websites on mobile devices" Then grid and flexbox came along and gave us a native css solution. Then everyone moved on to figuring out SPAs - or as I call them "OMG we need to display websites on mobile devices 2.0"
- munk-a 5y agoI don't know about dropping frameworks so much - they allow companies with very little incentive to invest in mobile (nearly all our users are desktop based) to get half-decent mobile layouts with a minimum amount of investment.
