Yeah Bootstrap is great for having component classes for most things normal webapps need, and having enough utility classes for the more custom things. Love that you can use it in apps that are a mix of technologies as well, and good component support in React, Svelte, HTML, etc.
Tailwind is neat but the lack of component class names means you have to roll your own or embed very specific style classes like shadows, borders, etc in to every component.

Yeah I intentionally chose it as the foundation for UI for a project we started in 2021. The components are simple and lightweight there's an abundance of great themes.
Bootstrap is still extremely relevant in 2022.
I'm very excited to see this, specifically the Scrollspy refactor [0]. During COVID lockdown, without anything better to do, I went down a rabbit hole debugging some wonky scroll behavior. A bunch of other people had encountered the same issue over the years, but it never was a top priority.
I did some research and discovered the Intersection Observer API, which seemed like a perfect fit for this use case. I hacked up a basic implementation[1], asked for some feedback, and promptly forgot about it. I was super stoked to see someone else pick up the idea and run with it, doing a much better job than I could have. Open source is fun!

Yes, this is from a month ago. Responsive offcanvas support was a great add but I wish their overflow classes were also responsive:

Anyone else still using and enjoying bootstrap for new projects?
