Bootstrap vs Tailwind vs Bulma

I've been using tailwind for a few years and I love it. but you do end up with hundreds of classes on your html elements that can get really crazy over the top.
think there are ways to clean these up that I haven't yet looked into

I also paid for tailwindui (their pre made components) and use them as a start point which has saved me a lot of time

Bulma all the way in

I dabbled in Tailwind, but ultimately stayed with Bootstrap, even if I ignore the Tailwind learning curve. The problem I found was that it takes much longer to get something up and running quickly with Tailwind. Everything's from scratch, where Bootstrap has tons of components out of the box. And if you build the Bootstrap Sass files, you can completely customize the look and feel with just a few lines. I think Tailwind's value prop is the utility classes, which Bootstrap also has. It seems like Tailwind has started adding pre-built components, but at that point, why not just use Bootstrap, with its robust components?

I guess Tailwind's value prop just didn't resonate with me. It's gonna take something big to get me to switch from a tool I've been using for about a decade, and has no fundamental problems. Anyone care to change my mind?

I've been using TailwindCSS ever since a friend of mine showed it to me.
At first, seems quite boilerplaty as the markup tends to grow assigning classes (I use VUe) compared to some others but after understanding the philosophy I LOVE it. You feel like some Hollywood hacker just thinking of something and you just build it. I don't see myself changing anytime soon.

I've been using Chakra UI recently and have been very impressed by it. It's like a mix between Tailwind and Rebass.

Tailwind checks the boxes I need in all cases. I haven't used any other in last 8 months.

Tailwind is extremely indie-hacker-friendly.
The one thing tailwind excels at is the WYSIWYG copy-pasted code
As an indie hacker, you have to post a lot of things. The time tailwind saves can be put to use for another critical task.

damn. that december / jan dip.

Tailwind!

Tailwind! 👌🔥

Bulma. I can never, ever go back to anything else (other than doing 100% custom styles if I really had to).

I used to use Bootstrap but I always found it to be complicated with any slight complex layouts to make it work on both mobile or desktop without needing tonnes of divs wrapping an element to make it work.

I recently switched to Tailwindcss for all my projects as find it so much simpler to create responsive layouts that bootstrap.

i've used tailwind a bit lately and it seems fine-ish, if super-wordy.

the arguments for it - that it has utility classes or something, and that it makes customization easy - don't mean a lot to me - b/c i don't now what utility classes are, and i would never intentionally customize anything. maybe a hired designer i hired would.

not sure what the problem was with bootstrap.

i do remember something about media queries - are they specific to bootstrap? never could figure those out.

but right now, since i'm using the latest laravel, i seem to be tied to tailwind, even if i'm allegedly not tied to tailwind.

i just checked out bulma - i like the column thing - seems like it 'just works'.

i've always thought css was the most difficult comp sci concept any modern dev would have to learn - right after git.

so i like the idea of css that doesn't require a phd to understand.

i also tried out some of those 'learn css by playing games' games -- like froggy whatever -- those things are awesome.

Came from Bootstrap, switched to vanilla CSS for a while, then tried TailwindCSS. I absolutely hated it in the beginning—particularly how messy using a bunch of utility classes can look—but now it's my go-to choice. TailwindCSS provides such a fast workflow and incredible amount of flexibility.

Tailwind for life ✌️

I just started a new project and I went with Tailwind. What I like most is that it seems really flexible - though I'm still in the beginning. So far so good though.

Previously I've been using MaterializeCSS but I always struggled with it.

I love UIkit – http://getuikit.com. Really lightweight and easy customizable. Has anyone used it? Also thinking move to Tailwind and try it out.
