I don’t do much frontend work these days, but years ago, it felt like the defining feature of Bootstrap was the 12-column layout. Sure, it had fun buttons and other components, but the ability to trivially define multi-column layout without ripping your hair out was its raison d’être.
Now that we have flexbox, I’m not sure anyone needs Bootstrap.
I was going to list a whole bunch of things the DETAILS tag doesn’t allow, but it seems that none of these issues actually appear. So either it has evolved since I’ve looked at it last time or I was stupid.

It also has lots of UI widgets like collapsing elements, modals and alerts. Sure, you could code all these by hand, but why bother?
All the elements you mentioned are natove HTML elements that don’t need any library.
Yes but it wasn’t always the case. Bootstrap used to be very helpful when grids, modals, accordions and so on were not standard.
What’s a native HTML element that mimics Bootstraps Collapse?
details and summary?

Either way, thanks for talking back.
I had to look it up myself - so I learned about it too!
many native elements either do not function like people want or cannot be styled the same
Can you elaborate? Give some examples?
