I'll give you a different take. For most of my web applications, I am designing and building every single thing including all of the front end and backend and any database. It doesn't make sense for me to spend a bunch of time on the user interface before the software actually works. Then once it's working, there is a fair amount of CSS tweaking just to get basic spacing and other things to look okay. At that point, there are usually functional bugs to fix, one more feature I need, and two other projects I want to work on. Satisfying the latest design trends is usually a very low priority. For my recent project aidev.codes, I actually used Bootstrap, which is not something I normally do. But AI helped me with class names and stuff.
