I have the same conflicting feelings about it. One the one hand, yes the HTML should be semantic and not have things in it like "col-2". My thinking is that it's not so terrible as long as it's classnames. The tags and IDs can be more semantic and the classnames I kinda allow the cheating in my mind, considering it to be meta-data. At a certain point we do actually have to produce a site or an app. If I mange to get the product released while keeping the code clean, organized and consistent then I feel like I'm doing OK.
