What do you guys think of Bootstrap? It is lazy to use it.

I've been thinking lately and I want to try Bootstrap. However, would it be lazy to do so? It basically does all the pretty stuff for you. And sometimes it's lots of work to get the same affects by myself. Would it make me unskilled or not a real developer? Let me know your thoughts please.

I'm a web developer and we use bootstrap, it's perfect at getting the basics down without having to spend ages on getting everything perfect.

Well the less time you spend on style, the more hard coding you can do. Same can be said about jquery. You do not need to use it, but it is a nice tool.

No. In any case, each Framework has a learning curve that must be overcome, so in the end you're not being lazy, you're just taking advantage of the things you've learned, lol.

Manual Yeah. I consider myself more of a programmer than a web dev so I could spend more time on JavaScript, php, and Python by saving time. 😉

It’s a good tool especially for accounting for all those different screen sizes.

Bootstrap is a fantastic tool. Just like jQuery don't use it everywhere. Use it when you need it for majority of your page. If you only need to center something or do something else very simple just use JS and CSS. It's also important to know how to do everything even without Bootstrap.

Laziness aka efficiency is something to aim for. Anyone reinventing the wheel is egocentric or foolish (unless doing so to learn, or for fun).

Reinventing is great as a hobbyist ☺ I was more saying in a professional setting it's not good.
