Recently I happen to come across a lot of posts where some guys are really angry about people using Bootstrap. I am not sure whether it allows people to skip coding that makes them angry. Or is there some genuine concern in their posts ?
Do you hate Bootstrap

I had no idea what Bootstrap was until you wrote this thread. It sounds like something I would enjoy. I have fallen behind on my knowledge of these things and need to get back into it again.
I don't mind Bootstrap. It's a good tool to get a project up and running, but the problem is that a lot of devs don't use it properly. They include the entire package instead of just what they need, and don't deviate much from the default theme. The result is a bunch of bloated, low-quality clones.
Bootstrap's documentation and grid system are great, though.

Getting work done matters at the end. Not what we hate or like. I personally like foundation but if customer wants bootstrap, then so be it. I also like new bulma framework but won't use it for customer who creates 10 revisions a day.
Boostrap isn't bad at all in my opinion. It's a great way to lay out a site. But like the gentlemen/ma'am said above people don't use it properly. There are many other alternatives. Personally I prefer to use html and css right out of the box instead of a framework but to each their own
Bootstrap is really nice, but people use it when they don't need to.
It has some JS dependencies & a ton of CSS and some sites only use a small fraction of it.
People have issues with this because those smaller sites could get away with a tiny CSS file and original code.
My only complaint with Bootstrap is that a lot of themes don't make themselves truly unique. a lot of Bootstrap themes look the same & you can pretty much tell what is Bootstrap and what is not. The other issue I have with it is that people do not create custom feature sections, they just use really basic Bootstrap. You can do a lot with it, especially for layouts, but people don't do enough exploring into the full capabilities and examples available 🙂

I prefer Bulma over Bootstrap but it doesn't mean that i hate Bootstrap.
I've started web design 17 years ago, on FrontPage and Dreamweaver. I know how to code my own designs, but Bootstrap is OK since it speeds up the process. I have currently made my own Bootstrap based Wordpress theme, that's fast loading and without any other added crap and I use it to code my clients' websites on it.
It's a good framework, if used smart. It doesn't take proper design out of the equation though, a website should still be build based on wireframes, Photoshop mockups and then create the HTML based on these and code it into the framework.

I don't mind Bootstrap if it's used well...
Some people will load up Bootstrap for a one page website though, which is *somewhat* fine if you are truly utilizing all of its capabilities, especially some of the more fancy JS... However, if you're just using it for some basic layouts then it's not worth it. You can totally create the CSS equivalents without loading up the entire framework. There are tools you can use though to remove all of the features you are not using, so if you are doing that then it makes more sense. A lot of people will load Bootstrap JS/CSS via CDN into their website (aka loading the entire framework) and then only use 5% of it... that's not the best because it just causes the site to load slower.
Bootstrap is great overall because it takes care of a lot of design elements that otherwise would need to be created from scratch.
It's not too difficult to mess around with to get the desired effects and designs, so it's a great resource for up and coming designers, or even experienced developers. It also has helped to offer some consistency across the web, whether it's with layouts and basic displays, or modal pop ups and alerts. I think that's nice because in the past there have been some serious wonky designs even on popular websites simply because the creators haven't focused on certain elements that Bootstrap takes care of. For responsiveness and mobile-ready designs, Bootstrap is a fantastic way to ensure your website is modern!
