Bootstrap democratized accessible design. It might be vanilla and bland but no one had trouble navigating a bootstrap site so “negative” is a subjective judgement here.
- ratww 5y agoNobody is shitting on anything. This is a very uncharitable reading of my comment. Just because Bootstrap had some very good aspects, doesn't mean it also didn't have some negative ones. I find this idolatry of tools a very troubling aspect of our industry. It should be possible to reflect on the negative aspect of good tools without someone saying you're "shitting" on it. Also notice that I never complained about Bootstrap being vanilla or bland. The issue here was that something well designed and well tested was rewritten from scratch and replaced with something that ended up being inferior for no reason other than misguided developers. And "no one had trouble navigating a bootstrap site" is a bold claim, considering how flexible it was. In fact the main issue with the website I mentioned was the worsened navigation introduced by the developers.
