Strong words. You aren't forced to use 10 classes everywhere. You could come up with one class which extends those 10 classes and then use one repeatable class, same as any compiled CSS. I think of BS and all the other frameworks as just time-saving utility and for me it's always done a good job of that. I don't honestly know how it could possibly make things harder unless your always overriding it, which is a miss-use.
I wasn't the one overriding it. But the stylesheet was a mess of overrides nevertheless. I've never seen anyone compile the Bootstrap classes into one class, they were using them everywhere with multiple classes on every object.
The problem is that it becomes very difficult to see where some unwanted style attribute comes from. I also don't even want to understand how the grid classes work, because the names don't make any sense whatsoever.
What I really can't stand is how large companies hire back end developers that think that using a CSS library like this is a substitute for actually writing a well conceived ui. They pile on the various containers and objects and get something hugely inconsistent with layout anywhere else. I have written very large applications, and I didn't need a third party library to do it. I have in the past copied just the bootstrap style icons into a project but not used anything else from it. It's a style of markup I strongly disagree with.
