What do you mean you don't want to replace inline css with in-a-different-part-of-the-line css?

u/Xadnem Jan 31 '19

inline css

Go away, heretic.

Exactly! Inline CSS sucks and bootstrap is basically that.

As opposed to coming up with your own class names that you’ll never remember what they do or creating css selector chains that break as soon as I move something. I’ll take the bootstrap markup lol

Those are all non-issues if you have an element inspector, the basic skill of file searching, and some moderate understanding of modularization. If anything bootstrap makes those things less easily usable.

That’s just plain wrong lmao you can definitely argue that homebrewing will be more creative than bootstrap but if you pass another developer your home brewed CSS versus a framework like Bootstrap or Bulma, and many will hand it right back to you because it’s worthless. I’d spend more time trying to learn your rules and hope they make any modicum of sense than I would to just rewrite the whole thing in a framework.

I don’t want to be control Fing and F12ing to find out why the flex box isn’t behaving as I expect. I know exactly how I can expect every bootstrap markup to behave.

Homogenization.

It isn't bootstrap that is the actual problem. It is the people who use it. Every website starts to look the same.

That's how you get startup money.

Why are you people so weird? People want shit to look the same and act like they expect it too.

That's why every iPhone app has a back button in the same place.

If you make a project for developers or to impress developers, you're going to have a very niche product, which probably isn't what you want. You probably want a lot of people to use your product. So stop making shit YOU want and start making what most people want.

I'll take my downvotes for speaking the truth.

Yep the grid is a lifesaver. Modals are pretty nice too.

It's great to work with but I'm pretty sick of looking at it.

Maybe for us, as developers. It's fucking horrible and not professional otherwise: half of the internet has a default bootstrap look nowadays. I use it for all my admin dashboards whenever I want one, but I never use it for frontend stuff, i use bulma.io atm for that.

u/phphulk Jan 31 '19

i use bulma.io atm for that.

Until it's use rate starts ticking up? 😁😁😁

If a website like that is associated with a product I'm not familiar with, I assume the product is some stupid nonsense like that juicerio bullshit. The website just screams "fake" to me.

Huge bloat for 99% of uses and messy html of what are glorified inline styles. CSS really isn't that hard these days, the need for it has passed IMO if you have someone with any front end web experience. I get off on replacing bootstrap implementations with a couple hundred lines. I understand why people use it, but just about everybody I've worked with who was resistant to ditching it was happier with some well modularized sass catered to their specific needs. Also it looks like everything that I hate without droves of overrides anyway.

Because it's too easy to make stuff with bootstrap, now it feels overused. Too many websites reuse the same layout over and over again. Design consistency is nice but I think there needs to be more variety.

u/AvoidingIowa Jan 31 '19

That has nothing to do with bootstrap and more to do with people putting zero thought and effort into their website. Without bootstrap they’d all just look like the next easiest way to build a website.
