Bootstrap is the grandfather of responsive web design frameworks. Created by Twitter, it provides a comprehensive collection of pre-styled components (buttons, navbars, modals, carousels) that work perfectly on mobile devices out of the box.
While Tailwind offers more freedom, Bootstrap offers speed if you don't have a designer. You can drop in a 'Navbar' component and have a working menu in seconds. It is ideal for prototypes, admin dashboards, and internal tools.
Key Highlights:
- Components: Ready-to-use UI elements (Modals, Alerts, Cards).
- Grid System: Powerful 12-column layout system.
- Documentation: Extensive and easy to copy-paste examples.
Verdict: The fastest way to build a functional UI if you don't have a design.
