Is it worth waiting for Bootstrap 4?

The first Alpha 4.0.0 of Bootstrap 4 was out on August'15. What do you think is taking them so much time to release the first public beta.

I've already made the switch.

The card component is really worth checking. Great improvements are coming, especially when it comes for utilities.

The biggest challenge is to switch your existing codebase to Sass if you were using LESS before. They have also removed a lot of things like icons (good idea) and all the JavaScript components (that's annoying); and have greatly simplified their components (navbar, card).

It's true that Bootstrap has challengers: Foundation, Bulma, Miligram. I find foundation a little hard to get started with and a less friendly default look and feel. Bulma and Miligram are more minimalists framework and can be great if you're worried about the profusion of Bootstrap components.

Yet, Bootstrap is still the framework for which you'll find developers in the blink of an eye.

Not really. Bootstrap is falling behind. I'd prefer a flex grid system and a separate set of components.

Good to see they take advantage of it, I still feel that their components are old fashioned though

Indeed, But accept for a Few Components rest features have simply been revisited again. Cards is a Major Change replacing thumbnails and other Image Components. Found a Good Demo For Bootstrap Cards Component bootstrap-tutorials.com/bootstrap4tutorials/Boots…

I don't know. Seems more like an issue of how it is usually implemented by the developer. Though, I do wish they would remove the jQuery dependency at this point. Anyway, any recommendations for alternatives you feel is more current?

Take a look at this version of BS, my issue is that I don't really use their components, so it's a lot of unnecessary code
