"Bootstrap had a nice, clean look and as I was usually employing it for demos, or admin screens, I didn't care if it looked like every other Bootstrap site. While Bootstrap was mostly simple, it's also wordy as heck. Bootstrap has an insane love affair with div tags and even a simple Bootstrap page feels like the line number goes up 4X."
"To demonstrate what these libraries do out of the box, I'll use this HTML as a template: <html> <head> </head> <body> <h1>Sample Page</h1> <p> This is some content. There is other content like my content, but this is my content. </p> <form> <p> <label for="name">Your Name:</label> <input type="text" id="name"> </p> <p> <label for="email">Your Email:</label> <input type="text" id="email"> </p> <p> <label for="comments">Your Comments:</label> <textarea id="comments"></textarea> </p> <p> <input type="submit"> </p> </form> <h2"
For over a decade Bootstrap was used for quick demos and admin screens because of its clean look. Bootstrap is simple but verbose, often requiring many div tags and increasing markup size dramatically. Simpler frameworks offer plug-and-play styling that improves appearance with little or no markup changes. These libraries typically work by adding one or two CSS files so elements render cleanly without heavy customization. Some libraries, like Shoelace, require web components and are not fully plug-and-play. A basic HTML template can demonstrate the out-of-the-box improvements these lightweight CSS libraries provide.
