As a web developer do you prefer to use css frameworks like bootstrap, materialize etc to create websites or vanilla css?

Answer 1

As a developer I prefer to do much of the CSS myself...
Most of the CSS frameworks inner CSS goes unused.

Answer 2

I too use my own css. I used bootstrap before, but I wanted more autonomy on my design .

As I modified classes, it started to get messy. I isolated classes I wanted and added extra css properties, but had to leave all the bootstrap css there (version I downloaded).

So, alot of superfluous classes are unused. It can affect inheritance too if you really want to customize your design.

So I use my own css. I also break up my css into separate files that are relevant for sections of my projects.
