Discussion on: Why are CSS frameworks so used?

They are simple and most importantly they are standardized. When you write something of your own, you need more experience with it, especially in giving your code some standards. And it's difficult.

Unfortunately today I meet people who use frameworks but don't know css very well. They have learned to use them as a constructor.

In fact, we have more freedom when we know and can write ourselves, but depending on the tasks, we can choose some kind of framework. Than when our knowledge is limited and we can only use the "constructor".

I think it is to be chosen every time in the specific case, but I also met those who use frameworks as constructors and that is why I wonder if it is not wrong to always start from a ready base

In my opinion, but I could be wrong, the fastest way to learn something is to start learning css from scratch. Actually, like programming languages. I am more and more convinced of this.

yes I also believe that the best way to learn is to start from the basics, then a css from scratch to be able to understand the logic
