Is It bad practise to use bootstrap to build websites? Im a newbe at web development and love all the courses so far. I have just seen bootstrap and it does alot of work, but would it be bad practise to use this all the time and not coding fully?
Thanks,

You see, one of the biggest problem during the web app creation for the developer without much design skills is how to make the site looks decent. Bootstrap solves this problem.
As Bootstrap becomes mainstream, which it still is today, one of the criticisms it received is that Bootstrap is making so many sites look identical in style. But the truth is BootStrap isn't uncustomizable, also it's open-source. Many high-profile websites utilize Bootstrap as part of their front-end toolset to some extent.
