What approach (libraries, frameworks) do you use when laying out the UI?

Question

JavaScript

I make web pages. I use Jquery a little. All sorts of beautiful checkboxes, radio buttons and other interfaces I make up manually, and of course adaptively. But pretty simple stuff. It turns out a light code, without unnecessary html and heavy scripts. Perhaps this is all done with the help of some tools, frameworks, libraries? I ask for recommendations and describe your experience. Only please, not just the name of the technology, but what, why, and how you use it.
Thank you.

Answer 1

Bootstrap?)))
Foundation?)))
Material Lite?)))
And I see no reason to describe what and why, these are frameworks, take it and make it up.
UI or not UI does not matter here, although of course they are almost ideal for UI.

Answer 2

All sorts of beautiful checkboxes, radio buttons and other interfaces I make up manually, and of course adaptively.

Does this mean that you maintain some kind of "library of similar elements" of your own?
Also, other people "maintain" such libraries, even more other people use them and write about bugs, so the result is usually a more "tested" element.
An example for material design is https://getmdl.io/components/index.html
There is github there and you can see the code of any component ... or you can just take it right away and use it without writing it yourself.
Another example: there is a popular bootstrap, it has a grid, many sites of the same type are made on this grid, designers draw on it immediately from the very beginning, as a result, an ordinary "conveyor" landing master (I have nothing bad against such specialists) greatly reduces the amount spent time to complete the task of adaptive layout.

By technology: you are a typesetter, so you probably use gulp? If not - then it's time, get a live reload (no need to reload the page), you can optimize your scripts / styles / pictures ... and all this will greatly free up your time.
