[QUOTE="Markshall, post: 405919, member: 1872"] I wouldn't say it's being looked down upon. There's no denying that Bootstrap is an insanely great resource for web development, especially newcomers. The problem is that there's only so much customisation you can do before it just looks shit so you're pretty much bound to using their styling (fonts, colours, font-sizes etc). You can go on to a website and instantly recognise whether it's using Bootstrap or not. It's also really clunky code too, I know they offer the 'select what you need' feature where you just tick which components you need, but most people can't be bothered to go through and decipher what they need, so they end up with literally thousands of lines of code when they only need say a few hundred? Not only that, but it makes people really lazy. You can churn out a website in an hour or two by using Bootstrap, all you've got to do really is fill content in because they even provide free-to-use templates on their website. I only stopped using Bootstrap because all my projects were looking the same. But mainly because I didn't want to rely on their code to make things like Modals, Tooltips (which I find SO annoying now, what's wrong with a standard title tag?), Accordions etc, I wanted to learn how to code them myself, so I did. Bootstrap isn't the problem, it's the way it's used, and the people that use it that are the problem. [/QUOTE]
