Bootstrap is perfect for rapid prototyping, if you get to grips with the basics you can knock out interfaces in no time that look... OK. I rarely use it, but when I do it’s so I don’t have to think about the presentation in any great detail. For personal projects at least.

It was actually the basis for the UI for a company I worked at. It made everything fairly consistent which was a huge benefit to us but IMO it quickly looked dated.

Not that it was my choice for that particular project, but I would personally opt for vanilla CSS for anything public facing in the future. SASS/LESS and/or CSS variables make it all fairly easy to knock together these days.

Of all the libraries I’ve seen though, the Tailwind stuff is the most appealing to me and appears to be built in a very flexible and customisable way.
