Discussion on: CSS Grid or CSS framework - are they really exclusive?

Good read. When I create projects these days I either use pure CSS (Grid and Flex box). Or I use Tailwind or Bootstrap.

Yes, I guess that's true for most of us. In this post, I centered around the question of why combinations of CSS Grid and CSS frameworks are basically non-existent. Do you have any ideas why?

You mean a CSS framework that uses CSS Grid? Probably because it's so easy to create a responsive website using pure CSS with CSS Grid there is no need to make a framework for it. You can do it in a few lines of code it would be redundant to build a huge library with classes to replicate such easy logic.

Well, sure. But there is so much more to design than a responsive grid, isn't there? So you would at least expect a CSS framework shipping without flexbox convolution in order to embrace CSS Grid. I mean, not using flexbox doesn't mean I have no use for designed forms, for example. And don't get me wrong: most people answer like you do. I am just wondering why that is.
