Bootstrap

Bootstrap vs custom CSS: which is better for maintainability?

The question is about Bootstrap .

Answer:

Bootstrap is more maintainable for typical team environments because its class names and component patterns are documented in one place and already familiar to most developers who've touched a Bootstrap project before, so someone joining the codebase recognizes patterns like .btn-primary or .d-flex without reading a project-specific style guide first. Custom CSS can end up just as maintainable, but only when a team enforces its own naming convention and code review discipline consistently, which is harder to sustain than adopting a shared standard.
