Unpopular opinion.
devRant needs a poll feature :D

im starting a new project, and currently deciding on the css framework to pick. kinda sick of injecting bootstrap into everything and reworking it, time for a new toy.

so... Whats your preferred CSS Framework?

I don’t use css frameworks, create your own! start with a good reset then build from their. I have a bunch of snippets that I’ve built up over time. Every css file contains only the styles for that particular site i am working on. so responsive breakpoints are easy to configure and adjust. Its much quicker than using convoluted frameworks. Plus pre-processors are dead. Variables in css is the way to go now.

Tailwind makes sense.

Entirely depends on your criteria, but...

If you only need modern browser support, ask yourself if you really *need* a CSS framework. Modern vanilla CSS supports a whole bunch of things that make it perfectly usable for most tasks - a choice of sane layouts like grid / subgrid, flexbox, etc., custom properties, and so on.

Granted, if you really feel the need for nesting and things like that, you'll need to pick a framework - and I have nothing *against* them per-se. It just feels like everyone these days rushes to pick one without really considering if they need to.

I just write my own. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Some things are difficult, but most of it is pretty trivial.

Use tailwind if you must pick one. Otherwise raw CSS works wonders. Maybe get a bit of SASS to handle imports and mixins just to make things a tad bit tidier.

Crazy so many votes for Tailwind... (I voted for it too lol)

It's kind of a complete misunderstanding of how css classes should work but it somehow looks like it makes sense? I'd definitely give it a go

@12bitfloat @3rdWorldPoison

Maybe there's something I'm missing, but how is tailwind worth the effort when there's 10+ classes per element to assign?

@C0D4 Ironically that's literally their selling point. The so-called OO-CSS.

Tbh it's either between bootstrap or tailwind. Depends entirely on what suits your palette.

I generally pick tailwind due to its granular control over existing ruleset.

Also, I've seen it provide a bit more readability.

It's a tad bit smaller as well (which hardly makes a difference imo).

in contradiction to my last post. Take a look at foundation by Zurb. google it
