Pure CSS
Bootstrap vs Tailwind
4 projects | /r/laravel | 11 Apr 2022

Personally I don't like either. Bootstrap seems too bloated and cookie-cutter, and Tailwind is inline styles and clutter. Lately I've used Bulma (CSS framework) and Buefy (Bulma + Vue) on a couple of projects. I also like the look of Pure CSS, but I haven't used it.
