While I’m pretty sure that it is very out of style by now, I still really like the aesthetics and functionality of Bootstrap. As an example of its utility, I recently coded up a quick, off-the-cuff static page with Bootstrap. I could make it look nice with only one ‹link› tag and no JS or CSS files, or even any inline CSS. It was fast, effective and largely painless.

The minimalism of the Bootstrap aesthetic also has a timelessness to it, in my opinion. While it is often obvious when people are leaning on Bootstrap, that does not mean that it is necessarily bad. Minimal pages are sometimes called for. Aside from the expedience of the tool, it encourages content that is readable, simple and clean. 10 out of 10; would ‹link› again.
