Time for #DEVDiscuss β right here on DEV π
Inspired by @mapleleaf's Top 7 post, tonightβs topic is...CSS libraries, frameworks, and engines! ποΈ
There are so many different ways to implement CSS, thanks to frameworks such as Tailwind, Sass, Bootstrap, MaterialUI, and more. From the above post, I learned that UnoCSS is unique to these in that it's an engine, not a frameworkβthere are no core utilities. π‘
Questions:
- Do you prefer a CSS framework or a CSS engine?
- What are the advantages (and disadvantages) of your preferred approach?
- Which are your favorite CSS libraries, frameworks, and engines? Why?
- Which are your least favorite, and why?
- And if you prefer vanilla CSS...why? π¦
- Any triumphs, fails, or other stories you'd like to share on this topic?
