Should you use the Bootstrap grid in every layout?

Question

css

I use only the grid from Bootstrap, I made up the layout purely for it and everything was perfect.
But sometimes there are layouts that are not marked with columns, only the width of the content is limited by lines.
In principle, the grid as a guideline is quite convenient, but in some complex layouts (or even unique ones), this goes sideways for me.
The problem is in the columns, they automatically divide the space between themselves, and the content, for example, can be on 7.5 bootstrap columns. Or the column will be wider than the content (for example, a picture). Dances with tambourines with margins begin and sometimes the content does not want to leave the column or is repelled at all outside the container.
I’m more inclined to abandon the bootstrap grid altogether and make up purely on flex. Or is it a problem in me, I somehow don't understand the bootstrap device?
Who typesets and what uses?

Answer 1

How compatible are bootstrap and pixel perfect?
Best CSS Flexbox Grids?
In general, if the goal is not to support junk, then use flex.
And if only Edge is supported from the Microsoft goodness, then css grid.
I would leave Bootstrap only for admins or for the case when there is no designer, or he is, but not competent enough.

Answer 2

Layouts come across even close to not using a hint of grids, so it makes no sense to pull a tool that is not intended for this, to put it mildly. You won't turn a cross screw with a gas wrench, will you?

Answer 3

I try not to use a grid of frameworks at all, except for a delicious project budget and the whim of a solvent customer. Box model via media queries, Flex&Grid+CSS directive supports - the main tools. Yes, sometimes you have to refuse support for older versions of IE adherents. Yes, it may take a little more time, but then complete freedom of action with any edits and minimizing stress when working with media queries. Plus, the abundance of unnecessary divs, IDs, and classes freezes me out... I already start shaking to the mat when I see floating layout on sites and crutch classes in the code.

Answer 4

You can always increase the default number of columns from 12 to 24 or more... Then there shouldn't be such problems.
