The feasibility of using CSS frameworks

Question

css

I have been doing layout for more than a year, during this time I have encountered many problems (and still will). I always wrote the code by hand, from scratch, using my old blanks and snippets. Lately, I've been hearing more and more about CSS frameworks. I looked at Twitter Bootstrap, 960gs, but the first one seemed somehow limited to me, and the second one is not adaptive.
Question for people with experience: is it worth it to study frameworks? Do they really speed up development time, given that I have my own blanks for different occasions and it’s easier for me to typeset, knowing every line of code, or are they actually not a very necessary fashionable feature?

Answer 1

You should look more at less/sass preprocessors, assemblers, image minifiers, semantics, avoiding style cascading (if possible). The rest is nonsense.
Frameworks a la bootstrap are applicable only in the absence of design, because then it is especially unnecessary to take a steam bath. Any change in design further than the standard will result in a lot of wasted time. For example, for admin panels or some simple internal services, they are indispensable.
There are many ways to optimize technical processes.

Answer 2

You have been doing layout for over a year. It's not enough, don't get me wrong, but your judgments about bootstrap are just ridiculous with such experience.
Download the bootstrap, start typing on it and you will understand how thoughtful the framework is, what opportunities it gives. In addition, you will understand that as a layout designer, he does not limit you at all.

Answer 3

Even if learning frameworks does not specifically speed up your work, you will at least gain additional knowledge (on CSS and layout), something to refresh your memory. It will probably get better, it won't get worse.
