Current grid systems

[dcp3450]

I’ve used Skeleton and Neat in the past. Most systems seem to blow the markup with so many classes. I like Neat since it’s SASS based and is part of compiling. However, Neat is float based which is not always the best option and requires some “trickery”.

What is the most commonly used now? Is it still Bootstrap?

Yes Bootstrap is pretty much the top favourite (across the various versions).

I saw an article recently (where I can’t recall) that it’s used, in some form or another, in 60-80% of all websites.

Yes, it has many classes (helper classes) but that aids consistency across large sites and dev teams.

If there is a trend it’s away from Frameworks since flexbox (which is rolled in BS4) and CSS-Grid are really gaining support both with users and developers.

I have no doubt that BS5 will be CSS-Grid based though….probably with fallback support for Flexbox since they are closely aligned.
